Hi,

I have completed bandstructure calculation with LORBIT=None (reading the CHGCAR). Now, I would like to calculate bandstructure with LORBIT=11.
Can I use the output of the previous calculation (LORBIT=None) to speed up calculation for LORBIT=11.

What in case, if we want to perform the same for MBJ calculation?

Sorry for the late response.

LORBIT performs a post-processing step on the Kohn-Sham (KS) orbitals. No need to worry about switching to a different LORBIT upon restarting a converged calculation. Assuming you have run a band-structure calculation LORBIT=None, add LORBIT=11 and ALGO=None to the INCAR and restart the calculation. VASP will read the Kohn-Sham orbitals for each k point from the WAVECAR file and perform the projection on local quantum numbers.

Best regards,

Thanks a lot, Marie! I thought it would not be possible.
