Once this is converged, check forces (are they so big that you need to relax ? and :FCHECK. If :FCHECK is still large at the end, probalby your spheres are not ok. And in addition you should increase LVNS from 4 to 6 in case.in1(c).<br>

Thank you Prof. Lyudmila for the inlined reply.<br>
<br>
I shall mention the optimization process: I am using run_lapw ............ -it -min to relax the structure with TETRA (default), rmt 3, kpt 50 (4x4x2), PBE. Organometallic system (Hybrideperovskite).<br>
<br>
I am not sure whether my scf is going well or not because I do not see any such message.<br>
My main concern is about too much time (~40 minutes on 16 core) for one scf cycle and this warning.<br>
<br>
<br>
Could you please have a look at my further queries:<br>

<br>
I'd look attentively around this place in the scf.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I do not find anything in scf with this statment or part of this statment. Also, as per my excersie, nothing is mentioned in mailing list for such warnings.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
below is constructive output from six scf cycles:<br>
<br>
All looks good, though I do not know what is :ADIST. Something<br>
connected with MSR1a option.<br>
<br>
:ADIST Largest Distance 1.71E+02 mau for atom 18<br>
:ADIST Largest Distance 1.67E+02 mau for atom 32<br>
:ADIST Largest Distance 1.20E+02 mau for atom 32<br>
:ADIST Largest Distance 5.87E+01 mau for atom 32<br>
<br>
<br>
:ADIST represents the distance between atoms (Pg number 212 UG). Atom 18 and 32 are H. in the 12th Cycle :FGL is positive for both and is around ~40mRyd/au.<br>
<br>
<br>
Too large forces appear and movement of the atoms becomes too large.<br>
<br>
TOTAL FORCE WITH RESPECT TO THE GLOBAL COORDINATE SYSTEM:<br>
:FGL018: 18.ATOM -228.797027515 -110.869626478<br>
<br>
<br>
I think that mixer is very clever program, so this possibility is<br>
taken into account, and it wiil correctly treat this data.<br>
<br>
<br>
results from :FGL and hence from :FCHECK is varying. In first cycle the total forces from :FCHECK was very small and in the 8th Cycle total forces are too high. The average totla force on each atom is<br>

results from FCHECk and FR are below (in 12th scf cycle): FCHECK *.scf<br>
