Does the selection coordination type i.e., Cartesian or Fraction, have a certain impact on the structural optimization?

Dear developers and users of CP2K
I am fitting the Birch–Murnaghan equation of states method to do the structural optimization. Because the lattice victors are changed, does the description of atomic coordination, i.e., Cartesian or Fraction have a certain impact on the results. Will the atoms run out of the lattice. And if this question is related to the periodic boundary conditions.

Best regards.

Dear Liu Hao, 

no your fractional coordinates are identical to the cartesian, the results are identical too. 

Greetings,
