You should not be worried that the forces appear to be increasing. Please read <b>Mixing for Dummies</b> carefully. Then read it a second time. Don't fiddle with case.inM, the program almost certainly is doing a good job.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:#000000">In DFT the energy is only variational at the final, converged density, before then what Wien2k reports may be higher or lower than the true energy. Also the forces are only accurate at the final converged density, not before. THis is not standard optimization when you are always improving, it is much more subtle.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Mar 9, 2024 at 1:27 AM delamora <<a href="mailto:delamora@unam.mx">delamora@unam.mx</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-8204043933578081029">
