setting the MaxGvecs variable to a lower value

Post by Elham » Thu Jan 06, 2011 10:00 am

Dear All,
I wish to set the MaxGvecs variable to a lower value. At first i run yambo -i, then yambo, then yambo -i -V RL
But the MaxGvecs doesnot change. I do this for the SiH4 example.
regards
Elham

Dear Elham,
what you have to do is just to set the value of the variable in the input file,
probably you have a database of a previous calculation with more Gvecs. In this
case, remove your ./SAVE/ndb.gops and rerun yambo withe the new input file.

If this is not the problem, please post the input and report files.

Cheers,

Daniele

Dear Daniele

Please find in the attachment yambo.in and reportfile.
Would you please let me know how I can fix the problem and reduce the MAXGvecs.

Dear

in your input file there is the line

MaxGvecs= 90447 RL

edit the yambo.in file and change this line in:

MaxGvecs= 50447 RL

and then run yambo
