my max_steps=500,why it stops when the step=99 and

.

About the last question: The "step=99" that you see is in the SCF loop, so it has nothing to do with the maximum number of BFGS relaxations steps, which you have set to 500. In order to increase the maximum number of allowed SCf steps (looks like you need this in order to achieve full SCF convergence and accurate forces), you need to specify this on the calculator:

Code

iteration_control_parameters = IterationControlParameters(
    ....
    max_steps=200,
    ....
    )
 
calculator = LCAOCalculator(
    ....
    iteration_control_parameters=iteration_control_parameters,
    ....
    )

Thank you  for pointing out the reasons of the two errors .I have confirmed that the deadline of the  trial key is 21th of  January，i will  ask the ATK agent in china for offical key since we have bought the ATK for several months.
