Hi,

I am running a frequency calculation. Please see my INCAR below. I set the NSW=1, however, NSW=925 in OUTCAR. OSZICAR shows it runs for 13 ionic steps. Can anyone help me on the problem?

Thank you

System = TiO2
ISTART=0
PREC=Normal
ISPIN=1
ENCUT = 500 eV
GGA=PE
IVDW=12

Ionic Relaxiation
EDIFFG=-0.02
NSW=1
IBRION=5
ISIF=2
ISYM = 2
POTIM=0.02

Electronic step
EDIFF=1E-05
NELM=100
ALGO=Fast

NFREE=2
AMIX = 0.8
BMIX = 1.0
AMIX_MAG = 1.6
BMIX_MAG = 1.0
LMAXMIX=2
LPLANE = .TRUE.
# NPAR = 1
NSIM = 4
NELMDL =-5
LREAL=A
LWAVE =.F.
LCHARG = .F.


ISMEAR =0; SIGMA = 0.05
