Good afternoon. My name is Martin Diaz, a master's student at USP-São
Paulo-Brazil. I have a question with ibrav=0.
when performing my thermo control calculations with THERMO_PW:
&INPUT THERMO
what='mur_lc_elastic_constants',
frozen_ions=.TRUE.
This message comes out in my output file:
WARNING: check_stop already initialized Message from routine setup: using
ibrav=0 with symmetry is DISCOURAGED, use correct ibrav instead.
Is this normal? Is my input file bad?
