NELMIN = [integer]
Default: NELMIN = 2

Description: NELMIN specifies the minimum number of electronic self-consistency steps.

It is rarely necessary to change the value of the NELMIN tag. In some cases, e.g., in molecular-dynamics runs, or ionic-minimization methods, we recommend increasing the NELMIN tag to a value between 4 and 8.

-Generally you do not need to change this setting. In some cases (for instance [[:Category:Molecular Dynamics]] runs, or [[:Category:Ionic Relaxation]]) you might set {{TAG|NELMIN}} to a larger value (4 to 8).
