No, there is no way to reduce the SO effect by an input parameter.

Of course you can modify SRC_lapwso and recompile.
The speed of light is defined in modules.F, where it is set as a parameter.

modules.F:  REAL*8,PARAMETER  :: CLIGHT=137.0359895D0

You can change it there and recompile.
Obviously, it is also a trivial change to remove the PARAMETER property from CLIGHT and with an additional input parameter you can change the effective CLIGHT.

PS: For compounds with different elements you can do further analysis by switching off SO interaction selectively for one/some atoms.

Sir,
      I am Vivek Pandey, a Ph.D. student. I am running wien version WIEN2k_21.1 on a HPC cluster with operating system CentOS Linux 7 (Core). The Fortran compiler being used is GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44).       I want to study the effect of the strength of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the band-touching points (nodes) in semimetals. For this, I need to control the strength of SOC being used in the calculations of the ground state of any material. As per my knowledge, there is no standard procedure provided in the WIEN2k package to carry out this task. Furthermore, one way, which I can suggest, to carry out this task is to control the magnitude of speed of light (c) being used in the calculations. But I don't know the file to which I need to do this modification.        Thus, I am requesting you through this mail to let me know if there is any standard procedure already provided in the WIEN2k package. If not, then kindly guide me how to carry this out either by the above mentioned procedure or through any other way.

Looking for your kind response.

Yours sincerely
