[Wien] Initialization with spin-orbit

[Islam, Md F]

Dear Wien2k users,

     I am having trouble with initializing a job with initso. I am doing a substitutional magnetic impurity
calculation in a surface supercell (only 2 symmetry operations). After I relaxed the surface, I did an SCF 
calculation (more accurate) without spin-orbit which is converged well. But when I tried to do initialization 
with spin-orbit using initso, it gives following error message:

If I use the unrelaxed structure file, then initso does not give any error. So I suppose this error I am getting 
is related to the coordinates in the structure file of the relaxed geometry but I don't see anything wrong
with the relaxed structure (after all, it works without spin-orbit). Could anyone suggests me how to fix the
problem.

On a related note, I have couple of questions:

1. Is it ok to initialize the job using initso with unrelaxed structure but after initialization, replace it by relaxed 
    structure file and run the job?

2. For spin polarized calculations, spin-orbit may reduce the symmetry depending on the choice of magnetization
    direction. According to user guide, initso picks up correct symmetry for such cases. But if the system does not 
    have any symmetry to begin with, then is it ok to initialize the structure treating as non-magnetic case?


Thanks,
