The default energy convergence criteria value for runsp_lapw should be the same as for run_lapw, which is 0.0001 Ry as given on page 60 in the WIEN2k 14.2 usersguide [ http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/textbooks/usersguide.pdf ]. However, if you are concerned about what it is, you can specify what value you want to use with the -ec flag.

If you do not use the -i flag, the program will only run to 40 iterations by default. The program has stopped because you have reached the default maximum number of iterations (cycle 40). Usually, you just have to continue the calculation and run more iterations with the -NI flag or can run a calculation from the beginning and specify more iterations with the -i flag. If you search the mailing list archive, you should find that it has been mentioned at least a few times, for example:

http://www.mail-archive.com/wien%40zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg02833.html

If the calculation does not converge with more iterations (is diverging), this might be caused by a ill-defined problem or numerical difficulty to converge. Changing the mixer algorithm or greed value might help with that. There should be discussions in the mailing list archive about that, and one of them is:

http://www.mail-archive.com/wien%40zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/msg02638.html

If you run the same calculation in the terminal or w2web, you should get the same result with the same WIEN2k version. You can check case.inm, but it might be that you are using a default MSEC1 mixer in WIEN2k 8.x, but a different default mixer like MSR1 in WIEN2k 14.2.

Thanks for all

I have repeated the calculation with the runsp_lapw command (Note: the first calculation is done with the w2web interface) but i have a problem of convergence as the following, a problem that i didn't find with the w2web interface:

in cycle 40    ETEST: .0277655000000000   CTEST: .5085582

First, i want to know the default energy convergence criteria value when we use the commande 'runsp.lapw"

Second, what causes this problem?

I'll be very grateful
