[QE-users] Fwd: Volume Relaxation - Final Pressure

[Paolo Giannozzi]

Typically, a large difference between the final scf calculation (performed
with the basis set of the final cell) and the previous one (performed with
the basis set of the initial cell) indicates that the chosen cutoff is
insufficient to ensure good convergence of the stress.
