[Pw_forum] very high pressure in scf

Fri May 27 12:00:33 CEST 2011

dear Sanjeev Gupta
    I think you should find what is wrong with your input.
    my suggestion is to read the documentation of Abinit and QE and 
understand each variable you are setting and how they translate betwenn 
the codes.
    there used to be an input translator between the two codes that may 
still work although has not been used extensively (look in to qe-forge 
->quantum espresso ->files ->QE-ABINIT converter)
    it may help to take a simpler system where you have less variable to 
test and the incrementally  add complexity
    good luck
