[Pw_forum] Dear all, can someone tell me why my force for the relax calculation get to NAN?

[文沈]

when I do a relaxation calculation for the Cr atom sit on the CuN surface.
the calculation always get the Total force as NAN
I grep the Total force from my out put file
 Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.000851
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.001184
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.000620
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.000731
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.000699
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.001291
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.000744
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.001344
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.001741
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.000733
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.001029
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.000619
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.001437
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.000516
     Total force =          NAN     Total SCF correction =     0.000703
And finally the calculation comes to an end as the error
 from bfgs : error #         1
bfgs history already reset at previous step
I read the discussion on bfgs errors, people at least get the Total force,
can anybody tell me what is the problem.
