[Wien] Total energy

[ben abdallah houda]

Hello, Greg
Thank you for your response. I have another question about total energy: what is the difference between total energy obtained after optimization and that found after SCF calculation (analysis: ENE in w2web interface) and which energy i have to choose to calculate energy of magnetic state.
 
Thank you for your help in advance.

Use "optimize" to generate a series of volumes from your case.struct file.  It will also create a script called optimize.job which will sequentially calculate each new volume and then calculate the equation of state parameters.  This is straightforward to do within w2web by following the steps.  You will need to do a series for each of your magnetic states.

Dear Wien2k Users
 
My question is how to calculate total energy of solid? because i want to calculate the total energy difference between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic state. 
This total energy is it obtained from optimization of structure (total energy as a function of te cell volume)?
 If this is the case, how can i choose a serial of volumes? are there arbitrary?
Can you please help me to solve this problem ?
 
Thanks a lot.
