I would like to add a comment to Marcos answer. For sure, when you specify DM.InitSpin, the moments on atoms change during the relaxation. This option is very usefull when you have metastable spin states in your system. Then, specifying the initial spin orientation may help you in finding the different local minima. By this way you can energetially compare the metastable states of your system. Best regards, Simon
