<div style="font-size: 15px;">Dear Pang,</div><div style="font-size: 15px;">Thanks for your reply. The official example07 and example11 show how to perform scf or band calculations by including soc, where the <span style="line-height: 1.5; background-color: window;">nosym </span></div><div style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; background-color: window;">was not set and the default value is </span><span style="line-height: 1.5; background-color: window;">nosym=false</span><span style="background-color: window; line-height: 1.5;">. </span><span style="line-height: 1.5; background-color: window;">In my experience, it is also recommended to switch off the symmetry when soc is included. </span></div><div style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="line-height: 1.5; background-color: window;">Therefore I am not sure how to set </span><span style="line-height: 1.5; background-color: window;">nosym in PWSCF. Thanks for your good suggestions again.</span></div><hr style="width: 210px; height: 1px; font-size: 15px;" color="#b5c4df" size="1" align="left">
