Hi
i am new to abinit. I have problem in structural optimization like this:
chkprimit : ERROR -
According to the symmetry finder, the unit cell is
NOT primitive. The multiplicity is 4 .
The use of non-primitive unit cells is allowed
only when the input variable chkprim is 0.
Action : either change your unit cell (rprim or angdeg),
or set chkprim to 0.
The Unit cell is Cubic with space group No: 225
How can i overcome this problem? Please any one give me suggestions and solutions to this problem or please provide the some structural optimization Input file.
My Input file as follows:
#optimization of the lattice parameters
optcell 0
ionmov 3
dilatmx 1.05
ecutsm 0.5
#Definition of the unit cell in Bohr
acell 5.1439 5.1439 5.1439 angstrom
