Hi Andrea,

        Although I intentionally wrote this part so that simply changing MaxTIAtoms would work, I am still a little bit surprised that it really works😊. Please keep us posted about your results.

        Thanks!

Dear Taisung.
Thanks for your answer.
I modified the MaxTIAtoms variable to 2000 and recompiled. Seems to work.
Scientifically… I hope it makes sense… Theoretically yes, but might not converge. Could be a good test.

I let you know.


Thanks

Andrea
