Generally you do not need to change this setting. In some cases (for instance [[Molecular_dynamics|MD]] runs, or [[Ionic_relaxation|ionic relaxation]]) you might set {{TAG|NELMIN}} to a larger value (4 to 8).
It is rarely necessary to change the value of the {{TAG|NELMIN}} tag. In some cases, e.g., in [[:Category:Molecular dynamics|molecular-dynamics]] runs, or [[:Category:Ionic minimization|ionic-minimization]] methods, we recommend increasing the {{TAG|NELMIN}} tag to a value between 4 and 8.

Description: NELMIN specifies the minimum number of electronic self-consistency steps.


It is rarely necessary to change the value of the NELMIN tag. In some cases, e.g., in molecular-dynamics runs, or ionic-minimization methods, we recommend increasing the NELMIN tag to a value between 4 and 8.
