<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear all,</div><div><br></div><div>Before posting this email, I searched the mailing threads for
guidance on restarting the calculation, and I followed two steps. </div><div><br></div><div>1) First, I attempted to use the following input file settings in the same directory to enable the restart functionality:<br></div><div>@IF 1
<br>&EXT_RESTART ON
<br> RESTART_DEFAULT F
<br> RESTART_FILE_NAME sm-scan3-1_275.restart
<br> RESTART_POS T
<br> RESTART_COUNTERS T
<br> RESTART_VEL T
<br> RESTART_THERMOSTAT T
<br>&END EXT_RESTART
<br>@ENDIF <br></div><div>I observed that the SCF steps started from the
beginning instead of resuming from where they left off. I am not sure
why this is happening.</div><div><br></div><div>2) If I simply use the last frame as a starting point, the energy of the
first scf step is quite high compared to the energy of the last scf step
of the first run. The energy is decreasing in the first run (till 76
steps) but, it is shifted to the higher range (from 77th step) upon
restarting the calculation (as seen in the figure attached).</div><div><br></div><div>I feel I am wasting some time when I restart the calculation using the
2nd step. If I am making any mistakes, kindly let me know as I do not
want my calculation to be wrong. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you!</div><div><br></div><div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>With regards</div><div>Dr. Anupriya Nyayban</div><div>Project Associate</div><div>Pradeep Research Group,</div><div>DST Unit of Nanoscience & Thematic Unit of Excellence,<br></div><div>Department of Chemistry,<br></div><div>IIT Madras<br></div></div></div></div></div>
