<div dir="ltr">Dear users<div style>I have a question about the output of vc-relax. when I run vc-relax for orthorhombic structure, the output celldms are so different from experimental data. forexample celldm(1) is 8.896 bohr from experimental data, but the output celldm(1) from vc-relax is 6.960 bohr.</div>
