[Pw_forum] R-3c symmetry

[Fatma Litimein]

Dear all,

   I'm a new user and I'm trying to calculate the electronic properties 

of rhombohedral al2o3 under R-3C symmetry group. When I optimize 

these atoms, the code can't find the symmetry group (No symmetry !). 

I suspect that I must be doing something wrong here. Below is my input file.

Thanks in advance,
