Dear Wang,<div>                    The 'relax' process optimizes the  structure within given geometric constraint. It does'nt care for stress. It minimizes force only in the given constraint. If you want to minimize the stress also you have to do 'vc-relax' calculation, It will give you what you want.<br>

Dear all<br><br>I perform the relax calculate to the crystal structure. After 11 step bfgs,  the total force and total scf correction had reach to the criterion, however, the total stress was so big P=-3443.87. I have no idea about deal with the case,  could anyone give some advices? Thanks in advance.<br>
