Dear Amene Nouri,

You have different possibilities:

1/ One of the simplest is to plot the densities of states projected on 
the d-states of the atom.

Follow the w2web interface (Tasks -> DOS ...) for this purpose (x lapw2 
-qtl) ...

2/ You may also have a look at the band structure and more specifically 
the projection on the d-states of the atom.

Follow the w2web interface (Tasks -> Bandstructure ) and do not forget 
to do (x lapw2 -qtl -band).

You can also look at the scf file and recognize the position of the 
d-states and based on the knowledge of the Fermi level you will have an 
estimation of this d-d gap for a given k-point.

With my Best Regards

Xavier
