Dear Youssef,

I attach a pdf with result of my last calculations (data and graph).

Ecut vs Etotal and Ecut vs Total force.

If the rules about 1mRy for energy and 1.0D10-04Ry/au per atoms are myths.
How can I choose the correct value for convergence?

The minimun value of total force is 0.004268 Ry/au for Ecut = 75 Ry can I
choose this value for convergence?
