<p>Dear all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have been trying to calculate el-ph coupling constant for monolayer MoTe2 using QE and EPW.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>While calculating the phonon energies using ph.x I get error as <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<div> task # 3<br>
from divide_class : error # 1<br>
Wrong classes for C_3v</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But when I add the tag search_sym=.FALSE. as directed in this <a href="https://lists.quantum-espresso.org/pipermail/users/2017-August/039055.html" class="gmail-m_1600087524854425759OWAAutoLink" id="gmail-m_1600087524854425759LPlnk176340" target="_blank">
https://lists.quantum-espresso.org/pipermail/users/2017-August/039055.html</a>, I am able to calculate the phonon energies.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But, when I try to calculate el-ph coupling constant using EPW, I get the same error. Is there any way to switch off symmetry in EPW or other ways to overcome this error in ph.x?</div>
