[Pw_forum] a simple question about the relax outfile

[xu yuehua]

hi all :
i have a question about the out file of relax :
for example :sometimes :the end of file is like:
.........

  convergence has been achieved

     bfgs converged in  27 scf cycles and  24 bfgs steps

     End of BFGS Geometry Optimization

     Final energy =    -172.2464671441 Ry
the red are different ,so i worried about the former is not
 convergence,because i set the step is 50.
is that so ?
i need your help .
thank you
