Dear Anupriya, I would first do a full optimization (vc-relax) in other code (VASP/QE) for such a large system and then using this fully optimized structure, I will do an ion relaxation (run_lapw -min) in Wien2k. If you want to do everything using Wien2k, please follow Prof. Peter's response.

A full optimization of a bigger triclinic structure is hardly possible with WIEN2k. It depends a lot on what the purpose of your calculations is, but: a) Most importantly, optimize the position of the atoms using the forces: run_lapw -min ... b) eventually I'd next do a volume optimizati

Dear users and experts, I have a triclinic structure (P1 space group) with lattice parameters a=18.508, b=39.835, c=40.199 Bohr; α = 119.701 ◦ , β = 103.309 ◦ , γ = 90.0 ◦. I have the following doubts 1) The volume obtained with these lattice parameters as well angles (with the formula for tricli
