Dear Lorenzo
Thank you for reply. IF I change the value of 1.98 to 0.4 then it  should work or not? Do I choose bigger cell?Which parameter should be modified?
thanks

Dear Ali,
the constraint is in unit of celldm(1), in your specific case you have  
asked the two atoms to be about 16 Angstrom apart, which is impossible in  
periodic boundary conditions with such a unit cell.

best regards
