<div dir="ltr"><div>It's a known (to me at least) and recurring problem: the code finds a symmetry that sends a crystal axis into another.

<p>The problem comes from the routine <span>scale_sym_ops</span> in PW/src. You have 12 symmetry operations and the dense FFT dimensions are 50, 50, 90. So for some symmetry operations there is a problem, e.g. for isym=2 the condition:</p>
<p><span>MOD( s(3,1,isym)*nr1, nr3) /= 0</span></p>
<p>is not satisfied because you have nr1=50, nr3=90, and <span>s(3,1,isym)</span>=1, and therefore
<br>
</p>
<p><span>MOD( s(3,1,isym)*nr1, nr3)</span> = <span>MOD(50,90) = 50 /= 0</span></p>
<p>Not sure how it is supposed to function. Maybe Paolo can help to understand since he wrote this routine a couple of years ago.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>My initial guess was to try and optimize (better) the structure before using HP, but after the analysis above I am no longer sure that this can help.<br>
