Dear Sir,
You are absolutely correct,I am getting exactly these symmetries.But
transformation into D2h symmetries making the result incorrect and
unphysical.Please tell me how to resolve this.
Thanks and regards,
Anindya Bose

error in my ph.out files.Initially the file ph.out showing the correct
symmetry of the material(e.g. Graphene D_6h point group symmetry) but after
some interval it is showing some erroneous point  group symmetry D_2h.I am
very much confused with this absurd result.What should I do here?I have
played with conv_threshold (tried to reduce)but I was unsuccessful.How can
I resolve this problem? A copy of ph.out file is enclosed with this mail. I
will be waiting for a positive suggestion.
