Dear Dr. Giannozzi ,<div><br></div><div>Thank you very much for the reply. There are some differences between the results from these 2 approaches. I prefer the approach with relaxed structure since there are a lot of stress for the unrelaxed structure.<br>

I don't think there is a "correct" way to perform<br>
the calculation you want, as opposed to an "incorrect"<br>
one. It depends what you want to show. Likely the difference<br>
between the two approaches will be invisible.<br>
