You cannot minimize with any of the canned routines available with -so as the forces are wrong.
To my knowledge the "NOSE" option in Wien2k is more than 10 (perhaps 20) years old, and I am not sure it works. I doubt that it has been used for decades. If you want to do MD I suspect that other codes such as QE are much better, as they focus on that. In principle MSR1a could be modified to do MD, but this would take about 1 person year and I have not heard of any volunteers.
