MAXDIS = [real] 

Default: MAXDIS = 0.0

Description: This tag sets the maximum distance that an atom is allowed to travel (in Angstrom) between two ab-initio steps before the charge density is reset to atomic an atomic charge density.


Per default MAXDIS=0.0 this tag is switched off. At each ionic step, the maximum Cartesian displacement of any atom (using minimum-image convention) is compared to MAXDIS. If exceeded, the charge density extrapolation controlled by IWAVPR is skipped and atomic densities are used instead.
