opt

opt

This option controls the geometry optimization details.

num_steps

Value An integer
Default 1000

The maximum number of geometry optimization steps.

epsilon

Value A real number
Default 1.E-5

The convergence condition. If the ratio of gradient norm to coordinate norm is less than epsilon, then the optimization is assumed to be converged.

fix

Value Atom range
Default None

Assign the atoms that are fixed during geometry optimization. For example:

opt
  fix 2 5-9 23 26
end   

The atoms 2,5,6,7,8,9,23,26 will be fixed during geometry optimization.
