Dear All:
      I plan to calculate the phonon of the crystal structure with hexagonal
lattice. It spend me one day  to build the crystal structure which was
confirmed by Xcrysden. According the experiences of previous e-mails about
phonon calculate, the "relax " process of the crystal structure was needed,
then I  vc-relaxed the crystal structure and hoped to get a  approving
structure in a few hours. But the calculation had took more than 40
thousands second after 14 steps and stopped with the error : too many C-
bond were not converged.
