[Wien] [EXTERNAL] case.in1c missing for a centrosymmetric case doing U+SO

Hi,

As Fabien mentioned, for SOC+U, you should not run
"lapw1 -up -band -orb -so" . Instead, you have a few steps
lapw1 -up -band
lapw1 -dn -band
lapwso -up -orb -band

That is, you add the orb option to the lapwso step.

For in1c file, if you can run through runsp_lapw -so -orb etc., you can check if the option -c is on for the lapw1 step.
Of course, if the system has the inversion symmetry after you accept the struct file from init_so_lapw for spin polarized case, you can still check that file to see if that file shows the breaking of inversion symmetry.

Thanks for rectifying (you probably mean 'adds SO'). I should have written for the actual scheme

"lapw1 -up -band -orb -so" which may be, from U.G. program flow in p.44, has lapw1 call lapwso by itself ?

Still, I do not understand this requirement for case.in1c file from lapw1 ?
