<div>Dear all,</div>
<div>i am trying to do some optimizations with PWSCF v.5.0 and I have the following problem.</div>
<div>I want to let a optimization to continue, even if the scf has not fully converged. As I have under stood the QE documentation, one need to set the tag scf_must converge, as i have done in my input file:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(...)<br> &electrons<br> electron_maxstep=100,<br> conv_thr=7.35D-8,<br> scf_must_converge=.false. <br>/</div>
<div>(...)</div>
<div>however, the optimization calcualtion still terminated with the message: "convergence NOT achieved after 100 iterations: stopping" after one scf cycle, in whihch the convergence critereriva have not been reached.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can anybody tell me, whether I am missing some settings to let the optimization not terminate, when a scf cycle has not converged? or does anybody see which mistake i have done?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>best wishes,</div>
