Re: [Wien] Question regarding simultaneous optimization of lattice parameters and atomic coordinates

2014-03-12 Thread Peter Blaha

Forget the   case_1, ..2,... files. These are intermediate files during force 
optimization.

As you said, you will get final case_abc_1.scf, ..2,.. files. They should have 
small forces (check it out)
and have optimized internal positions. These files (energies) and the 
corresponding struct files
should be used for analysis.

Dear wien2k users,

  I have started simultaneous optimization of a,b,c of an 
orthorhombic lattice by using Option 6 in structure optimization script.

I have also comment (#) runsp_lapw and uncomment min_lapw in optimize.job 
such that the script should do force minimization of each struct files prepared during x
optimize.

Now, the script will copy case_abc_1.struct to case.struct and this file will then be 
used by min_lapw... and save the results as case_1.struct. This procedure 
will be
continued for each of the struct files generated during x optimize.

Now after completing the whole process we will get several scf files named as 
case_abc_1.scf, case_abc_2.scf,...etc. which can be used to find optimized 
a.b.c.

Also, after min_lapw... new structure files are getting saved like 
case_1.struct, case_2.struct...etc for a particular case_abc_i struct files

So my question is,

after completing the whole process we will ultimately get case_1.scf, 
case_2.scf generated from the last case_abc_i type files...and we can not get 
force optimized files
for each case_abc_i type files...is it true?

If it is truethen what should we do to get force optimized struct files for 
each case_abc_i type files such that we can achieve simultaneous optimization 
of a,b,c and
force for the orthorhombic lattice?

Any response in this regard is eagerly awaited.

Thanks in advance,

with regards,
