<p>Here is a cif file. You can see that Sn is on a Wyckoff position
4a, which means that you have 4 equivalent positions in the space
group I 41/a m d. <br>
</p>
<p>In WIEN2k, it leads to a case.struct file having only 2
equivalent positions, because only the positions in the primitive
cell are shown in the case.struct file and here the cell is
body-centered (I). <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The fact that you have 4 equivalent position in the case.struct
file you sent to the list is clearly an indication that the
structure is not correct. <br>
</p>
<p>In addition, when starting a calculation you should first check
the bond distances from the litterature, which is about 3.02
angtström for Sn-Sn. More precisely one tin is surrounded by 4 tin
atoms with the same Sn-Sn distance. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In the structure you sent to the list the Sn-Sn distances were
2.2 angström!!! It is too small for such an element. It is why the
geometry optimization goes wrong. Thus, the first thing to due
before doing "run_lapw" is to check your data. To do so, you must
check carefully:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>- case.outputnn --> bond distances and coordination</p>
<p>- case.outputs --> point group for each inequivalent atoms <br>
