Thank you dear Hervé Bulou

What do you mean by larger side mesh size? 

Any answer from you is valuable for me.

 I may be wrong but it seems to me that the size you used is too small to prevent the molecule to interact with itself, which could induce undesirable effects especially if the starting  configuration is too far from the most stable configuration.

    Hi I am investigating the adsorption configuration of an organic molecule on platinum metal. When relaxing the molecule on the surface, after several steps, unfortunately, the structure of my molecule changes and actually breaks its bonds and the molecule loses its original structure. I have no idea how to solve this problem so that the structure of the molecule is fixed and only the configuration is optimized on the surface, any help would be great. My input file is below Thank you in advance
