[Pw_forum] about the path length in NEB calculations

[lfhuang]

Hello everyone:
    I wonder why the path length in NEB calculation always increase in the progress of calculations(exemple17 and my
own calculations for other systems), even though the path is a straight line with the two end fixed? How is 
the "path"  really defined? I would like to appreciate any guide!
Yours Sincerely
L.F.Huang
