Problem in geometry optimization of C nanotube
Date: 2009/01/04 17:04
Name: Prachi   <prachiavi@gmail.com>

I am carrying out the geometry optimization for single wall carbon nanotube (96 atoms). I am getting the first MD step correct, but for the 2nd MD step, it gives 'nan; energies . I am attaching the few lines of *.out file below.

Can you please hekp me where I am going wrong ?
Thanks in advance.
