<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear users,</div><div>I am working on doping graphene nanomesh with scandium. I did scf calculation and it did well. Then I ran nscf, but
always got an error message: "<b>Too many bands are not converged</b>". I have tried to increase <b>ecutwfc</b> from 45 to 80 , but got the same error. Also, I
have tried to decrease <b>conv_thr</b> to 1.0e-9, but the same error. However, I was working with the graphene nanomesh without Sc atom, and the scf and nscf calculations were doing well. <br></div><div><br></div><div>The input files are following:<br><a
