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...
 
 thanking you,
