Dear Victor and Steve,
the convergence test are different depending if you use -ec or -cc.
I think both of you understand well that the "-ec" test use the last
three cycles for the test:
Diff = (|ENE(n) - ENE(n-1)| + |ENE(n) - ENE(n-2)|) / 2
and Diff and ECTEST criteria are given in the dayfile.
For the -cc it is different. Only the last :DIS(n) value is used (that
is the average of the :DT0(n) values). The difference :DIS(n) - CCTEST
is then calculated and if this difference is below zero the scf is
stopped. It is this difference that is written in the dayfile (and not
:DIS) and it is clear that the scf stop when the value becomes negative.
You can have a look in the $bin/testconv script for futher details.
Regards
Florent
