you have only 8 symmetry operations, I would expect 16 ! how much did you reduce the rmt's and what is the nearest neighbour distance for the structure with smallest volume is the struct file the original one ?
any warnings during initialisation ? did you run a scf cycle for the structure ? Does it run without errors you don't give enough information Ciao Gerhard DEEP THOUGHT in D.

However, at its very first cycle it shows an error; " error: command /home/wien2k/Wien2k_5_7_2015/WIEN2k/lapw2 uplapw2.def failed". I am sending the struct file herewith this mail. Any response in this regard will be helpful for us.
