I'm running calculations with 20-30 atoms. The largest ENMAX is 400 eV and the smallest is 103 eV. When I manually enter the ENMAX to anything above 400 eV, I get the following error:
WARNING: PSMAXN for non-local potential too small
LDA part: xc-table for Pade appr. of Perdew
POSCAR, INCAR and KPOINTS ok, starting setup
WARNING: small aliasing (wrap around) errors must be expected
REAL_OPT: internal ERROR: -16 -20 -32 17
REAL_OPT: internal ERROR: -16 -20 -32 17
....
I've tried rearranging the POTCARS in order of decreasing ENMAX, but that did not work.
I'm using the standard PBE potentials.
My INCAR looks like this:
PREC = Normal
ENMAX = 520
EDIFF = 1e-4
IBRION = 2
ISIF = 3
NSW = 50
ISMEAR = 1 ; SIGMA = 0.020
POTIM = 0.020
ISTART = 0
PSTRESS = 0.0001
EDIFFG = 1e-4
LREAL= Auto
LCHARG = FALSE
LWAVE = FALSE
Any help would be appreciated!
PSMAXN error with larger ENMAX?

PSMAXN error with larger ENMAX?
The warning means that PSMAXN is too small for the required cutoff energy (ENMAX) the first of the atoms given in POTCAR.
Either use a harder potential or decrease ENMAX.
Either use a harder potential or decrease ENMAX.

PSMAXN error with larger ENMAX?
Solved it by setting LREAL=FALSE
