hello friends,
i want to know one thing: do VASP read the INCAR file in every step of geometric convergence? i.e. if I change the value of a parameter in INCAR after calculation started, do the change effect the calculation or it continues with previous value?

Hi,

I think that INCAR file is only read once at the beginning of the calculation.

Cheers

INCAR is only read at the beginning of a vasp-run
