After running the script optimize.job containing min_lapw, you can try 
getting the EOS (equation of state) from eplot_lapw (or click 
Execution->optimize(V,c/a) in the left menu and E vs. volume plot in 
w2web) [1].  Additional information about eplot_lapw can be found in the 
WIEN2k usersguide [2].

  The atomic positions can be obtained from the optimized case.struct [1].
