# minimize
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
minimize ftol etol max_iter
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Inputs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`ftol` - force tolerance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`etol` - energy tolerance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`max_iter` - maximum number of iterations to calculate before exiting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
minimize 10d-10 10d-10 10000
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The minimize command is used to perform energy minimization on the CAC model.
|
||
|
|
The minimization method is chosen by the [min_style](./min_style.md) command.
|
||
|
|
Minimization is considered to be complete under the following conditions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. \( \frac{(E_i - E_{i-1})}{E_i} < etol \), where \( i \) is the current iteration.
|
||
|
|
2. No atom has a force component greater than `ftol`
|
||
|
|
3. The number of iterations is greater than `max_iter`
