Dear R. Chouhan Just to complete the very nice answer of Peter. I have used the force theorem as explained by Peter using GGA+U to estimate MCA and in the cases I have considered it works amazingly nicely. As Peter said, I was using P1 symmetry and checking carefully the convergency before

Use instgen -ask and compare what you get in the different cases. Am 05.11.2016 um 16:00 schrieb Abderrahmane Reggad: Dear Wien2k Users I want to know if there is a difference between the case.inst files for the non spin-polarized and spin-polarized cases. We take the example of Ni: Ni

There are a lot of problems in your calculations: Usually the energy difference between 2 such calculations is extremely small and one must be very careful to get meaningful numbers. When you do initso for a spinpolarized system, the symmetry can be reduced. In such cases you MUST take the
