Hello,

It seems that the answer is in the error message: you cannot combine structural 
optimization with full LDA+U. And as far I know, it is also true for 
optimization + SOC: they are NOT compatible. So you should better first 
optimize your structure with a "standard" method and then switch on LDA+U and 
SOC.

I am trying to apply LDA+U+SOC Scheme on Mn-doped silicon system (Magnetism is 
also incorporated).?I am using version espresso-5.0.2.?After running till first 
scf cycle (couple of?iterations), when it comes to write the forces acting and 
coordinates of relaxed system, the calculation is crashed with the following 
error:

?%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Can somebody check the input and suggest some solution??

Thank you in advance. Below is the input:
