[Pw_forum] vc-relax cell parameters are not changing

Hi, all,

Thank you very much for your prompt responses I greatly appreciate it. I am confused on how exactly I should alter the code I attached. Should I change the celldm() card? Should I change (last) to angstroms? I appreciate all guidance you can give.

Best,
Brendan
