[Pw_forum] Problems about vibration mode and minimization

Dear all,

The vibration mode I got by QE has 6 figures 
which are looks like rotation mode in the first 3 figures.(the force directions are the same)
Is that really rotation mode?

Besides, when I do minimization calaulation by QE.
It took very long time (ex. a week) and didn't converge finally.
I try to decrease the ecut, but the error appeared soon.

     from read_rho_xml : error #         1
     dimensions do not match

Why can't I lower the ecut ?
or how can I lower the cpu time ?
Thanks a lot.
