 +===== How do I obtain the stress tensor? =====
 +
 +You have to add the following snippet to the input file:
 +<code>
 +&FORCE_EVAL
 +  ...
 +  STRESS_TENSOR ANALYTICAL
 +  &PRINT
 +    &STRESS_TENSOR
 +    &END STRESS_TENSOR
 +  &END PRINT
 +  ...
 +&END FORCE_EVAL
 +</code>
 +
 +<note tip>Your calculation should be set up in such a way that forces are being calculated:
 +e.g. ''RUN_TYPE'' set to ''GEO_OPT'' or ''ENERGY_FORCE''; instead ''RUN_TYPE ENERGY'' won't work!</note>
 +
 +
 +===== How do I restart a calculation? =====
 +
 +There are two restart files usually produced by a run:
 +  * a binary file, typically ''//<PROJECT>//-RESTART.wfn'', which contains the WFs coefficients.
 +  * a ASCII file, typically ''//<PROJECT>//-1.restart'', which has the same structure as the input file with all the keyword specified (in case with the default values).
 +
 +To employ the WFs restart file it's enough to change in the input file ''SCF_GUESS ATOMIC'' or ''SCF_GUESS RANDOM''
 +into ''SCF_GUESS RESTART'' (see the [[https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/DFT/SCF.html#SCF_GUESS|manual]]).
 +
 +Instead, to restart e.g. the positions of the atoms along a GEO_OPT run, you should add
 +a [[https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/EXT_RESTART.html|new section]] to the input file:
 +<code>
 +&EXT_RESTART
 +    RESTART_FILE_NAME <PROJECT>-1.restart
 +&END EXT_RESTART
 +</code>
 +
 +where you should replace ''//<PROJECT>//'' with the content of your ''PROJECT_NAME'' (eventually aliased to ''PROJECT'') keyword in section ''&GLOBAL''.
