The forces are calculated using the potential, therefore the forces with mBJ are different, and since LDA and mBJ are very different potentials, then the values can be very different. Anyway, this is not important since only the band structure should be considered after a mBJ calculation. It's not necessary to use -fc with mBJ.

It's only important to use save_lapw after the LDA calculation to avoid to mix the LDA and mBJ results in the same scf file. On Tuesday 2016-05-24 14:04, Dr. K. C.

I optimized atomic positions using lda. Then did "save_lapw -d lda" and run mbj as suggested in UG. I did not keep lda.scf for mBJ calculation and ran with "run_lapw -p" Does it correct or should I keep lda.scf in pwd for mBJ?

So, I guess that you are optimizing the position of atoms, which should not be (and can not be) done with mBJ since mBJ is only a potential (no associated energy) that should be used only for band structure. Run a mBJ calculation only at a fixed geometry (GGA or experimental, etc.). F.

Blaha and wien2k users, We are doing electronic structure calculations for MX2 type compound. As a first step we performed the scf calculation and it is completed successfully without any warning in the total energy. As a next step, we did TB-mBJ calculation to get reliable band gap. However, we end up with warnings in scf file for the total energies till end of the calculations. We also attempted to solve this problem by following some suggestions from you previously for HfO2 system (http://wien.zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.narkive.com/dXWnRjph/fcore-not-converg ed-at-rmt-warnings) but still warning remains the same. So, we kindly request you to suggest us a way to solve this problem. We also attached the structure file for your kind reference. Please find the attachment. Thanking you sir, Best regards N.
