[Pw_forum] about the from scale_h : error

[Wei Zhou]

first thank your for your help......

the relaxed structure  from vasp at 500kba is
Ba
   3.12000000000000
     1.0202516248839648    0.0000000000000000    0.0000000000000000

  0.6666666599999971  0.3333330000000032  0.7500000000000000
  external pressure =        1.67 kB  Pullay stress =      500.00 kB

 pwscf input is celldm(1)=6.015350,celldm(3)=1.58,
Bohr=5.2917706   angstrom
I have changed the input file like this after accepting your suggestions
&control
    calculation='vc-relax',
    restart_mode='from_scratch',
    dt=80,
    prefix='ba',
    pseudo_dir = '/home/solid/Work/PW/pseudo/',
    outdir='/home/solid/Work/PW/temp/'
    tstress=.t.,
    tprnfor=.t.
    nstep= 100
/
 &system
    ibrav= 4,
    celldm(1)=6.0,
    celldm(3)=1.58,
    nat= 2,
    ntyp=1,
    nbnd=30
    ecutwfc=30.0,ecutrho = 300
    nosym = .f. ,
    occupations = 'smearing' ,
    degauss = 0.014D0 ,
    smearing = 'methfessel-paxton' ,
/
 &electrons
    mixing_beta = 0.7
    conv_thr =  1.0d-8
/
 &IONS
    ion_dynamics = 'bfgs' ,
/
 &CELL
    cell_dynamics = 'bfgs' ,
    press_conv_thr = 0.1 ,
    press = 500
/
ATOMIC_SPECIES
Ba  137.327 Ba.pbe-nsp-van.UPF
ATOMIC_POSITIONS {crystal}
Ba 0.3333333333333286 0.6666666666666714 0.2500000000000000
Ba 0.6666666666666714 0.3333333333333286 0.7500000000000000
K_POINTS {automatic}
14 14 8  0 0 0
then the error still is
task #         0
     from scale_h : error #         1
     Not enough space allocated for radial FFT: try restarting with a larger
cell_factor.
if I add the cell_factor =3.0 to the &CELL, then the error became

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     task #         2
     from electrons : error #         1
     charge is wrong
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

the relaxed pressure changes unexpectly as following
  grep kba *
ba.optim.out_500:          total   stress  (Ry/bohr**3)
(kbar)     P=  356.22
ba.optim.out_500:          total   stress  (Ry/bohr**3)
(kbar)     P=  420.98
ba.optim.out_500:          total   stress  (Ry/bohr**3)
(kbar)     P=  105.79
