[Pw_forum] RE : RE : subtile error for non collinear calculations with aGGA pseudo

[BARRETEAU Cyrille]

I have done some checks on the 4.3a version and now everything seems to  work fine for both lda and gga pseudos. In particular I have done calculations of an antiferro bcc chromium with collinear and non collinear option. Now I do not get any "NaN" message and both calculations perfectly agree (up to numerical precision) which was not the case with the 4.2.1  versionfor a gga pseudo..

I think it is a different problem. It arises only with GGA because
you need gradients to calculate the xc functional.
