<br>
When you do "structure optimization  (whatever you actually mean by that <br>
... ?)" you actually do for sure a scf calculation also for the <br>
optimized structure. So it seems to work....<br>
<br>
You did not explain what you have done at: "I go for an SCF with the <br>
optimized structure".<br>
Apparently here you have done something which breaks AFM (it is easy to <br>
get some arbitrary magnetic state in DFT+U when one is not careful with <br>
dmat* or vorb* files)..<br>
