How to set ENCUT in VASP calculation?

 In VASP calculation, generally, the ENCUT is taken from the given POTCAR file (ENMAX). For calculations with more than one species, the maximum value of the ENMAX is used in the calculation.

However, you may want to use a specific ENCUT in the calculation. How to do that?

To do this, just use the Tag ENCUT and specify the number.

For example:

ENCUT = 500    # this is in eV.

 "The Maximum index for Augmentation-charges (SET IRDMAX)" error is most-likely due to parallelization issues.  To check this, try...
