[Wien] Optimize a Au cluster

[delamora]

Dear WIEN2k community,

I have a 5Au + TiO and I want to optimize it and I am having problems
I am working with the WIEN2k-16.1
The 'shortened' struct file is

   1      NUMBER OF SYMMETRY OPERATIONS

I work with
RxK = 6
#k points 50

I do an optimization
with 'min' in the two versions
nohup min -j 'run -so -ec 0.0001 -fc 50 -p'&
nohup run -so -p -fc 50 -NI -min&

With the first version it runs and eventually stops but the forces are not reduced;

With the second I did the same but I did not let it converge since the forces do not diminish, for example, for the last Au atom:
grepline :for '*scf' 100 | grep 7:
TiO2-5Au.scf::FOR007:   7.ATOM     396.449792     260.473816     294.593801      50.401600 total forces

I am doing the same with a 3Au cluster and it seems to reduce the forces
3Au_1.scf::FOR003:   3.ATOM      43.477317      29.289479      24.394236     -20.912309 total forces
