Help needed with getting started in CASTEP in Materials Studio

Hi everyone,

I'm completely new to using Materials Studio and its CASTEP module, and I would really appreciate some guidance. I’m interested in learning how to run basic calculations but don’t know where to start. Specifically, I need help with:

  1. Basic setup and workflow for a CASTEP calculation (e.g., structural optimization, electronic properties).
  2. Key parameters to adjust for accuracy (such as cutoff energy, k-points).
  3. Recommendations for tutorials or training resources (videos, documentation, or guides) to get a deeper understanding of how CASTEP works.

Any help or resources for someone just starting out with DFT calculations in CASTEP would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
