I only want to add a homogeneous finite electric field .In the instruction of the dipfield paremeter ,it said dipfield turn on only tefield is turn .So I don't know why you introduce the usage of parameter dipfield ?
I have see the code of forces_bp_efield.f90 in version 4.1(my cluster installed) .It seems that :"PAY?ATTENTION:?EL?FIELD?AND?OCCUPATIONS" is not a error .My question is why when I turn on the lefield ,relax is so slower than without ? And one puzzled problem is ,at the start ,when the first iteration has not achieved the save file has turn up .
My input file is as following ,please give me some advice ,the problem has puzzled some days ,but don't find effective solution until now .
Best regards
