 Thank you very much Prof. Gavin Abo
I have another question about this query
case.inst file also contains the occupations with their spins, if we remove
electrons from the valence layer, their occupations remain unchanged in
case.inst file.
I ask you to explain to me why we do not modify the file case.inst?

Thank you in advance
