<div role="region" aria-labelledby="c937" style="margin: 12px 0px; overflow: auto; padding-right: 20px;">Dear CP2K community,<br /><br />I am doing the geometry optimization of the first excited state, and I find myself encountering challenges with the default excited state force convergence settings.<br /><br />Is there a method to specify the force convergence value and the maximum number of iterations for excited state forces? It appears that the default is set to E-10, but I am interested in increasing it to E-7.<br /><br />During my calculations, the job seems to exhibit erratic behavior in the excited state forces calculation after a certain number of steps. To illustrate, I have attached an output and input file. In step 9, the excited state forces do not converge, displaying an unusual pattern.<br /><br />I am wondering if there is a way to add a specific section in the input file to have better control over these behaviors. Any insights or suggestions you can provide would be highly appreciated.<br /><br />Thank you for your time and assistance.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Lili</div><div style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(232, 234, 237); display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;"><div tabindex="0" role="link" aria-label="Download file out.log" style="background-position: 50% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat; border-width: 1px 0px 0px 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(232, 234, 237); border-left-color: rgb(232, 234, 237); border-image: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-right-color: initial; height: 120px; margin: 8px; position: relative; width: 180px;"><div style="overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; text-wrap: nowrap; background-color: rgb(232, 234, 237); bottom: 0px; color: rgb(95, 99, 104); cursor: pointer; display: flex; left: 0px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 30px; position: absolute; right: 0px;"><br /></div></div></div>
