Dear Stefano.<br> thanks for reply. my conv_thr in input file is 1.0e-5? i have a large system, takes too much time to convarage, so kept it low. Shall i decrease it by further one order? <br> latest output is showing:<br>
Total force = 0.023049 Total SCF correction = 0.002483<br>so i think my system has not converged yet, force is high. <br>regards<br>artee sharma<br>Department of physics<br>Bhavnagar University<br>India<br><br>

I think it might be better to stop it. According to the message the forces you are calculating may be not accurate and any further relaxation based on them is not likely to improve your geometry.<br>
<br>
However, are you sure your system is not yet relaxed enough ?<br>
What is your conv_thr and your force threshold ?<br>
