Hello People,
I want to relax CoPt bulk material. It has face-centered tetragonal (tP4) structural type. The relaxation is always finisihing after 1 scf cycle and 0 bfgs step. The forces are always zero. I mean the system is not relaxing. I googled the problem and I tried something in input, nevertheless I failed for every try. What am I doing something wrong? Do you have any suggestion or comment or web page?
I am using svn version with latest updates.
Here is my input file:
&control
