    Hello and welcome! There's a ton of examples in the examples folder, just have a look at these. Start with the basic examples. Elk uses just one single input file, elk.in. You can generate your structure with the spacegroup utility, have a look at the elk manual.
    Happy computing!

      hi Markus, I use elk to calculate the DFT+U+SOC with 11 atoms, but I found it spends too much time. Does Elk calculation indeed require a lot of time ?And I found convergence is not very fast .
