Dear B. Li,<br><br>I did a calculation in a noncollinear system ('noncolin=true') not with 'vc-relax'but with 'relax' option for relaxation, using pseudopotentials built with GGA parametrization. The PW output also told me<br>
<br><br> entering subroutine stress ...<br><br> Message from routine stres:<br> noncollinear stress + GGA not implemented<br><br>so it did not compute the stress. Aniway, it did compute the forces, and relax succesfully the system taking into account these forces, using the options<br>
/<br>&IONS<br> bfgs_ndim = 3,<br> pot_extrapolation = "second_order",<br> wfc_extrapolation = "second_order",<br>/<br>So, in principle, you can relax a noncollinear system using GGA parametrized pseudopotentials, if that is what you want. Hope this helps.<br>
