[Pw_forum] Temperature continuously going down in cp.x run

[vega lew]

Dear nicola,

thank you suggestion.
I'll make the NVE calculation after random the ions.

I wonder what temperature is demand for the NVE?
if the temperature is too high than the demanded temperature, should I make
the smaller random again?
For example, if the temperature is ~1000K after NVE, but the demanded is
300K, should I make the random process again using smaller amprp(1~3)?

thank you

vega
