[Pw_forum] about AFM scf calculation

[whzhang]

hello,everybody:
I'd like to get a AFM  insulator ground state of FeO,but I got a FM metalic state from the first iteration to the last.
And I have tested in other software and get a AFM insulator ground state. I don't know how to do now ...


Below is my input file:
and the occupations='fixed' make a mistake
