Dear Prof. P. Blaha and L. Marks,

   Thank you so much your quick replies.  We did not do any
optimization/minimization of positions of atoms for the investigate
compound. We performed on the scf followed by mBJ calculation.

The calculation steps are as follows.

1. We have considered the experimental data and generated the structure file

2. Run the scf calculation using PBE-GGA functional (run_lapw -p)

3. grep :ENE *.scf  and output is as follows
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.63530762
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.59196930
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.53399613
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.49597756
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.48895398
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.47569936
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.47476139
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.47440358
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.47403481
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.47393279
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.47382999
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.47378943
:ENE  : ********** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -238079.47377872

4. init_mbj_lapw -> run one iteration using run_lapw -p -NI -i 1

5. init_mbj_lapw -> chosen 0 for original mBJ parametrization

6. Edit the case.inm file by replacing MSR1 -> PRATT and mixing factor 0.2
-> 0.3

7. run_lapw -p -NI -i 100 and the output is as follows
:ENE  : *WARNING** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -237914.78050225
:ENE  : *WARNING** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -237914.29287377
:ENE  : *WARNING** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -237913.99063087
:ENE  : *WARNING** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -237913.77789778
:ENE  : *WARNING** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -237913.64136096
:ENE  : *WARNING** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -237913.53375209
:ENE  : *WARNING** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -237913.47426784
:ENE  : *WARNING** TOTAL ENERGY IN Ry =      -237913.41719973
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
warning started from the initial step of mbJ calculation and remains till
end of the calculation.

The corresponding warning printed in the scf file given as follows

grep -e :WARN *.scf

:WARN  FCORE for atom   1 not converged at RMT. Estimated inaccuracy:
0.1330 mRy/bohr
:WARN  FCORE for atom   2 not converged at RMT. Estimated inaccuracy:
0.1299 mRy/bohr
:WARN  FCORE for atom   3 not converged at RMT. Estimated inaccuracy:
0.3154 mRy/bohr
:WARN  FCORE for atom   4 not converged at RMT. Estimated inaccuracy:
0.2658 mRy/bohr
:WARN  FCORE for atom   5 not converged at RMT. Estimated inaccuracy:
0.2669 mRy/bohr
:WARN  FCORE for atom   6 not converged at RMT. Estimated inaccuracy:
0.3118 mRy/bohr

Also the experimental structure file is attached for your kind reference.
Please find the attachment.

Kindly help us in resolving the above issue.

Thanking you sir,
