[Pw_forum] vc-relax on "loose" strctures

[merlin meheut]

Dear PWSCF users,

I am trying to relax a structure consisting of a molecule surrounded  
by water molecules (a solvated molecule). When I realize a vc-relax  
calculation it gives me a good final structure. But when I am making  
an scf calculation on this structure, if the interatomic forces are  
ok, the pressure is too high (by 5 kbars). I guess it is related to  
the vc-relax algorithms, but the problem is that I cannot take this  
structure once again and relax it again, because in this case, the  
chosen temperature is very low (0.1K), maybe because the forces are  
well converged, and therefore it converges very, very slowly.

Is that possible to force pwscf to start with a given temperature?

Sincerely,

  Merlin Meheut, ESS Department at UCLA
