[Wien] Problem with optic parallel calculation

[bruce.tian]

Dear all:

I am trying to calculate the optic properties of fcc Ni in k-point parallel
mode. First I calculate with spin up. It is strnage each time I must run "x
optic -up -p" twice and then "x joint -up" (without -p) can work. But when
the spin down is selected "x joint -dn" joint error is always reported. I
checked the case.symmat* files and found only case.symmatup is not empty
while all other case.symmat_xup(dn) and case.symmat1(2)up(dn) files are
empty. What is the problem? The opticpara_lapw file is susbstitiuted by the
recommended modified file by Prof. Blaha. Thanks!


The results of "x optic -dn -p" are shown as following:
