Dear Dr.Ozaki,
I am a new user of openmx. I am trying to do an optimization of fe/co bilayer , using diis algorithm. It has been seen that forces are not geting converged properly...
Her is my input...

can you please advice me , wat changes i have to do to get a converged geometry...

How about smaller time steps?
