<br>> Content-Disposition: inline<br>><br>> Hello dear all,<br>><br>> In recent days I have been trying to get a triclinic cell to have a<br>> diagonal<br>> stress by using vc-relax. The pw.x program reads data in the correct way,
<br>> calculates the right starting volume for the cell given as input and also<br>> seems to do right the first electronic minimization but, as soon as the<br>> Wentzcovitch Damped Cell-Dynamics Minimization starts, it gives cell
<br>> parameters and ion positions that are not consistent with the energies and<br>> stress that it prints (i.e. if you take those cells and ions to an<br>> independent scf run the final energy and stress differ from the ones in
<br>> the<br>> vc-output) the problem is that in the end, when I get a nice diagonal<br>> stress<br>> after 60 or more dynamic steps, the difference between the reported energy<br>> in the vc-output and the energy of the system that you get with the cell
<br>> and<br>> ion parameters shown is of almost 1 Ry and the pressures differ by more<br>> than<br>> 10GPa. Any idea? by the way the ph.x complain and doesn't get anything<br>> from<br>> such restart files.
<br>> The output files are huge for sending by e-mail because my system is 72<br>> atoms big, but I can provide them.<br>><br>> cheers,<br>><br>> JAvier.<br>><br><br><br>_______________________________________________
