CG error message in ATC

Hi everyone,

This is for the ATC folks.
I am trying to simulate the interaction between pulsed femtosecond laser and carbon nanotubes. I am using the atc method and I am getting the following error message ‘ERROR: CG solve did not converge, iterations: 72 residual: 2.57046e-07’. I have a remote idea of what conjugate gradient means, but I don’t know how to solve this problem. My code is as follows:
