[Pw_forum] SCF correction problem in relaxation

Thaks, but I have tried several configurations including: 

* mixing_mode =  'local-TF' and 'plain' 
* conv_thr = 1.0D-7, 1.0D-6, 1.0D-5, 1.0D-4, 1.0D-3, 1.0D-2, 1.0D-1
and always get the same warning "SCF correction compared to forces is too large, reduce conv_thr"

Dear John,
it means that your convergence threshold is too big:
>       conv_thr = 1.0D-5 ,
it is at least 10 and at most 10 thousand times larger than an acceptable
convergence threshiold. Either increase it or increase the upscale
parameter.

regards
