[Pw_forum] use of starting_magnetization value when restarting an lsda cal.

[PRASENJIT GHOSH]

Dear all,

I'm using PWscf to do lsda calculations on clusters.
What I'm worried about is when restarting the cal. is it correct to
provide a value of the initial_magnetization because on doing so one may
loose the information regarding the magnetization from the previous run?

I also tried to restart the calculation without the
"initial_magnetization" flag but the code is asking for an initial value.

Can anyone please throw some light on this issue?

With regards,
Prasenjit.
