[Pw_forum] cell optimization

[hania djani-ait aissa]

Dear Nicola,
I have tried startingwfc='random' and it gave me the same energies values as for startingwfc='atomic' with still the same problem of drop and rise of total energy. I also increase Ecutoff to 40Ry, the energies values are actually more accurate but the problem persist.
