I was wondering if there is an alternative as I already have done calculations 
which have taken up to 40 hrs to work.
That is why I needed to find an alternative.
Thank you Alberto though for the insight.

Hi,

You can follow the standard procedure of carrying out the ground-state 
calculation first, and then re-using the density-matrix to start a new 
calculation for
the analysis you require. That will save you the work of re-converging the 
electronic structure. Please see the manual for the option dm-use-save-dm.

| Good evening,
|
|    1. I was wondering for a large SIESTA calculation, if I forgot the 
commands in
|    the fdf file to do a fat band calculation and do not want to repeat the
|    calculation, is there an alternative ? Maybe sisl can?
|    2. Does anyone have another way around this? Or am I forced to redo it 
with the
|    fatband commands?
|    3. If so, may I ask any advice by mentioning all the required fatband 
commands?
|
|
| Thank you and looking forward to everyone’s thoughts.
