Re: MD.Opt.EveryDIIS ( No.1 ) Date: 2017/02/26 13:20 Name: Naoya Yamaguchi Hi, 'MD.Opt.EveryDIIS' is a keyword to alternately switch a steepest descent scheme ('Opt') and a scheme based on quasi Newton methods ('EF', 'BFGS', 'RF', and 'DIIS'). The geometry optimization scheme is switched every the number of steps that is specified as a value for 'MD.Opt.EveryDIIS'. The default value for 'MD.Opt.EveryDIIS' is 200. However, you can disregard it if 'MD.type' is set to 'Opt'. In my experience, the default value is adequate.
