Dear all,
I am running the SCC-DFTB with the VelocityVerlet method,Driver = VelocityVerlet {  MovedAtoms = 1:-1  Steps = 10000
  KeepStationary = Yes
  TimeStep [fs] = 1.0
  MDRestartFrequency = 1
  OutputPrefix = "geom.out"
  Thermostat = None {}
  Velocities [AA/ps] = {                
   <<< "velocity.txt"
   }
   ConvergentForcesOnly = No 
}

I find the pressure in md.out different from that in out.log, Which are as follows: 


In the file: md.out
 MD step:           0

 What do the pressures in the two files  indicate, respectively?


Thanks!
