View source for Energy Cutoff Convergence

[[Energy-Volume Curves| < Back to Energy Volume Curves]]

=Purpose=
This script will vary the value of ENCUT (energy cutoff) over a defined range in the same way the previous scripts did.

=Implementation=
* Copy the source code and save it to a directory along with other VASP inputs.
* This script cycles over a range of values for the ENCUT parameter. This range is controlled by the following line: <pre> for a in `seq 300 10 400`</pre> This particular loop structure starts 'a' at 300 and increments by 10 until a value of 400 is reached.
** To change the range, modify either the bounds or the increment value.
** Change the "name of the run script" to the name of the FCC BASH script.
* Place this script in the [[Code: VASP|VASP]] directory, give it a name (no file extension) and call it from the PBS script.

=Source Code=
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
for a in `seq 300 10 400`

cat >INCAR<< !
ISMEAR = -5
ENCUT = $a
ENDIFF = 1e-6

./<name of run script>

echo $a >> ENCUT_summary
cat SUMMARY >> ENCUT_summary

t=`grep time SUMMARY|awk '{print $6}'`
echo $a $t >> cpu_time
