Thank you very much for your suggestion. Yes, I have tried different size of heavier plotting but in vain. What I observed was, the program does not read/recognise my jtype input for my case, because on w2web only atom number and size are printed. However, I can plot the band structure without editing the band character options.

2 possibilities:
a) your case.insp file is wrong
b) you did not run the    x lapw2 -qtl step properly.


I am sorry for going back, in my previous mail I used *-i 150*, but the scf circles terminate at 40 iterations. Why should it stops at 40 while it's suppose to reach 150, because of -i 150?

For min_lapw the -i 150 switch means  150 geometry steps.
In each geometry step a "run_lapw -i 40" is issued by default (unless you use -j ....) and apparently in your case the 40 scf cycles do not give converged forces.

As was mentioned before: usually run_lapw -min (using MSR1a) is much more efficient then then the old min_lapw, but of course, if you have enough time to wait, you can still use the old way.


Many thanks for your time.

With kind regards.

1) I tried to plot band character by editing case.insp as explained in the user guide, but band character for the selected orbital is not showing. I run a TiC example as test-case and it works fine, what could have been the problem?

The band character plot using the default "line switch" of 0.2 works well for TiC but it does not always work well for other structures [ https://www.mail-archive.com/wien@zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg16414.html ]. Have you tried increasing the "line switch" value?
