[Pw_forum] Problem in VC-relaxation with fixed atomic positions

2014-06-06 Thread Marcos Veríssimo Alves
Thanks, Nucu. That might be the reason. I suppose that, if I want to have fixed cartesian coordinates, I'd have to dig into the code. i wonder if the developers could give me a hint of where to change the code. It would, in principle, be a simple matter: change the coordinates so that the

Dear Marcos I remember a similar issue posted on this forum maybe a few months ago, and the answer was that the code makes a difference between fixing the atomic positions with reference to the Cartesian system but still they are free to change in the crystal axes system. HTH, Nucu On Fri,

Thanks, Arles, but I opened the relaxation on xcrysden and on the first step the cell was hexagonal. Best, Marcos On Thursday, June 5, 2014, Arles V. Gil Rebaza wrote: > Dear Marcos, please review your CELL_PARAMETERS tag..!! I thing that there > are some mistakes... you are using a square 2D

Hi all, I am trying to perform a cell optimization for graphene in which I would like to fix the atomic positions so as to have arbitrary bond lengths, and see what happens to the in-plane cell vectors. Thus I would like to keep the atomic positions fixed and let the in-plane cell vectors change.
