In addition to what Fabien Tran said:

If you expand the density/potential up to l=10, it makes only sense if you also increase the LVNSmax value in case.in1 from 4 to 6 (or 8), otherwise these potential components will not even be used in the calculations.

Please remember in general: when you have LARGE SPHERES (gt.~2.2) and large nonsphericity, an increase of this value could be very important for "highest" precision. The effect can in some cases be "larger" than increasing RKmax from 8 to 10 !!

For these reasons, init_lapw gives you now a "warning" or a "hint" about this, when it detects large spheres. Take it seriously when aiming for highest accuracy. To be able to make this automatically, there is a new parameter for init_lapw in batch mode: -lvns X

Hi,

Maybe it's because you are using lmax=10 in case.in2.
Does the problem persist if you use the default lmax=6 in case.in2?
Anyway, lmax=6 is already a very good value, so why are you using
lmax=10?

Subject: [Wien] Error related to nlvdw calculations

Dear WIEN2k developers and users,
I am trying to do a calculation on some layered materials by including
the nlvdw correction into SCF calculation in Wien2k 17.1 running at
Linux system (Intel
E5-2680, CentOS 7 Linux 64 bit) with intel compilers. The calculations
are successful without the calculation of the potential; however, I
always get errors when
I switch on the potential calculations. In the beginning, when I set
"calculation of the potential (T or F)" to "T" in case.innlvdw, I
always get the error
“Insufficient virtual memory”. According to the suggestion from the
previous post, in the line 41 in SRC_nlvdw/calc_vvdw.F, add : lmtmp =0
and recompile a
selected package : nlvdw. The error “Insufficient virtual memory” is
solved. But then I always get the following errors:
In case.dayfile,    start (Wed Sep 13 00:35:04 CEST 2017) with nlvdw

For the calculations, I set kpoints=605, RKmax=10, and expand lmax to
10 in case.in2.
I have tried running in both single mode or parallel mode and I get
the same error. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to fix the
problem. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jiawei​
