Dear QE users,

I want to try a MD simulation in pw.x   (Born­ Oppenheimer) for a 2d material. And I have learned from a QE tutorial video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhhi7xbq3Jc).
However, I found that my calculation can not converge after 100 iterations, the estimated scf accuracy is very large, more than 50 Ry. I am very apricated giving me some suggestions. My input file is as follows:


&CONTROL
  calculation='md',
  prefix='md',
  restart_mode='from_scratch',
  dt= 20 ,
  nstep = 5000 ,
/

&SYSTEM
  ibrav=14,

  celldm(4)=0.0000000000d0, celldm(5)=0.0000000000d0, celldm(6)=0.1486569005d0,
  nat=116,
  ntyp=3,
  ecutwfc=60,
  ecutrho=600,
