Thanks for the reply, Matt.
As far as I understand, the correction for the D2 potential is
independent of the charge density. I feel for the same geometry both
PBE and PBE+D2 converge to the same charge density (I could be wrong).
Thus, the density for a given geometry can be readily converged with
standard PBE functional, should be equally easy to converge with PBE
+D2. What the D2 vdw correction affects is only the total energy and
therefore the force. My guess is the extrapolation method somehow
doesn't take into account the vdw force.
Cheers,
