Dear Ben,<br>If you want to do many calculations with different values and shapes of the strain tensor, the following shell script may be helpful. This is for hexagonal crystals, you can adapt it for BCC or for any crystal structure. <br>

have a BCC and I'd like to put a strain on it, but I want a different
strain in each direction. Can I specify for example celldm(1)=1.02
celldm(2)=1 celldm(3)=1, or must all three lengths be equal? Would I
need to use another ibrav? Sorry if there is a simple answer to this.</div>
