[DFTB-Plus-User] How to go on the terminated task

[Bálint Aradi]

Dear Chao,

>      My task has terminated, but I want to go on the unfinished task. How to do?

It depends. If it is a geometry optimization and it stopped because the
nr. of max steps had been reached, take the final coordinates as input
coordinates and start a next run. You may also copy the charges.bin file
to the new folder and set ReadInitialCharges = Yes to achieve faster
convergence for the first geometry.

If it stopped because of exceeding the maximal number of SCC steps, take
the charges.bin, set ReadInitialCharges = Yes and start a new run. But
before that make sure, your geometry is correct, as SCC usually DFTB+
converges quite nicely.

  Best regards,

  Bálint
