[Wien] Direction of magnetization in case.inso

[Roberto Iglesias]

Dear all

I've got quite a naive question, I'm afraid. I've got a supercell created from a bcc unit cell in which I 
substitute some atoms by an atom of a different kind. After running nn, sgroup and symmetry, it becomes 
rhombohedral, with space group #166, Rm-3m. In StructGen I cans ee the warning "positions must be specified in 
rhombohedral coordinates!", but I think this has already been done by the program itself when I accepted the 
new case.struct file. I end up with initialization, run a regular calculation, found significan forces and 
used mini to relax the internal positions. After relaxing the structure, I want to add spin-orbit. For that, I 
have to write the direction of magnetization in case.inso. According to the UG, this should be given in 
rhombohedral coordinates and not in hexagonal for a R lattice. Since I come from an original bcc system can I 
keep 0. 0. 1. as the direction of the magnetization when applied along the Z axis? If not, what should I write 
instead?

Thanks in advance

Roberto
