[Pw_forum] ignoring the antiferromagnetic order in the symmetry analysis of phonons

Hi all,

Is it possible to ignore the antiferromagnetic order in the symmetry
analysis of the phonons? For example, one has to use Mn1 and Mn2 for
the manganites when one does a calculation with an antiferromagnetic
order. That will (correctly) reduce the point group symmetry from D2h.
But many phonon probes are insensitive to magnetism. So it would be
nice to do the symmetry analysis of the phonons by ignoring the
antiferromagnetic order.

Best,
Alaska
