There is no good rule there, since it depends on the size and nature of the
system. A better strategy is to minimize until the rms-gradient goes below
some particular value. If you want a "true" local minimum (where the energy
will not change by further calcualtion), a value of around 10**-5 should be
OK. If you just want to get rid of big intial stresses, so that you could
continue with MD, a value of 0.1 (or even higher) might work. Generally, how
far you minimize is some compromise between cpu expense and the desired
precision.
...good luck...dac
