Dear friends,

According to the helps, nstep means “Number of self-consistent field
STEPS”. In my opinion, it should be meaningful only in a self-consistent
calculation.

But, several tests use nstep in non-self-consistent calculations (such as
toptics_1.in), and this parameter does affect the results.

I am a little confused. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks.

Sincerely,
Gunagfu Luo
