I would add to Peter's comments that generally, for a 2D hexagonal system (such
as SmFe5)
The struct file to use is the one given by initso (and symmetso) for a planar
orientation of the
Moments - I usually use (110). A similar comment applies to a tetragonal
system; for rhombohedral
I use (1,-1,0) (note that in these rhombohedral coordinates the c-axis is
(111)). For a cubic case
it seems that the struct file should have only inversion symmetry, as this and
the identity are
the only common elements to the (100), (110) and (111) directions. The only
input file that should differ
for the c-axis and planar total energy calculations is case.inso - everything
else should be identical, with the exception
Of the WIEN2K-computed Fermi energy in case.in1.
Regarding Sm, one often gets meta-stable states that produce spurious MAE
results on the order of hundreds
Of meV per unit cell. If your energy difference is this large it is nearly
certain to be a spurious (untrue) result.
To deal with these one must play around with the density matrix - one way that
sometimes
works is to take the density matrix from the lowest energy direction and
substitute into the
metastable configuration.
Good luck - David Parker

Definitely, MAE calculations should ALWAYS be done with ONE struct file
of lowest symmetry (eventually in P1) to avoid any possible biases.
Usually initso will change your struct file and reduce symmetry. Take
the reduced symmetry file and put another magnetization direction.
Repeat such that at the end no further symmetry change appears in any of
your desired directions.
With this struct file do a non-SO calculation with -orb (PS: You should
NEVER use -orb right after init_lapw, but always converge first with
GGA, then create new dmatup/dn files (x lapwdm -up/dn); save and then
continue with -orb.
Obviously, LDA+U can lead to different (meta-stable) solutions and then
a comparison of total energies is not possible.
