Re: [Pw_forum] wrong number of symmetries!
Actually, it's working after using ibrav=14 and a,b,c and cosab, cosac, cosbc. I just don't understand what happens. All vectors look good and just some atoms' position are perturbated. Is it supposed not to check the symmetry when I use nosym and nosym_vec?

Re: [Pw_forum] wrong number of symmetries!
In order to find symmetries, the code uses a threshold to decide if a rotated vector is the same as the original one. It may sometimes happen that some "quasi-symmetries" are recognized as symmetries, some are not, leading to a "symmetry group" that is not a group. This is likely what happened in your case.

Re: [Pw_forum] wrong number of symmetries!
Dear Li MingkaiThe practical solution for your problem is to set verbosity = 'high' in your control card, change ibrav to "1", ignore CELL_PARAMETERS card, then do your calculation.look at the head of your output file, then copy and paste the new CELL_PARAMETERS and atomic positions for ibrav=0 and redo your calculation. ===Amer Hamzaoui hamzaouiamer@yahoo.frDepartement of physicsUFAS Algeria=== Le Samedi 15 octobre 2016 0h30, Li Mingkaia écrit : Sorry.
