Dear QE users,

Being a novice user, I am not entirely sure why would we like to do
*nscf *calculations
even if we have *scf *and *relax* calculations. Looks like we need nscf for
post-processing of Bandstructure calculations, but there should definitely
be more genuine reasons for doing that, I believe. Could you please clarify
it for me?

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Vijay Khanal.

> Hi all,
> I've been running a vc_relax calculation on a 40 atom system. The

> 0.108 and when the no of cycles was complete, I started another calculation
> with the final atomic positions and lattice parametres.
> In this new file, the force started increasing and it increased to 0.2 and
> now the iterations don't converge even in 400 steps.
> The CELL parameters are :-

> &CELL
> cell_dynamics= 'damp-w' ,
> cell_dofree='xy' ,

> Please tell me where am I making the mistake.
