[Pw_forum] "charge is wrong"

Hi Francesca,

As you can see you got charge deficieny, meaning that
bands number is not sufficient. You did not specify
any occupations keyword, so your system is considered
as insulator (or semiconducting) for which only
nbnd=(number of valence electros divided by 2) is
used. It might be that during relaxation process your
system turns to be metallic for which one should use
more bands number. 
So, try nbnd=490/2 + 10= 255 (in &system)

Hope this helps.

Bests,
Eyvaz.
