[Pw_forum] Inconsistent q-mesh generated by ph.x and q2r.x

[Sokseiha Muy]

Dear QE users,

I'm using QE/5.0.3 to calculate the phonon dispersion curve of BaF2. I would like to relax the structure so I started the calculation with 'vc-relax' followed by ph.x calculation. Then to obtain the interatomic force constant, I used q2r.x routine, but I got the error message:

>%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
>>      from init : error #         1
>>      q not allowed
>>
>>%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I thing the reason for this is the incompatibility of q-mesh generated by ph.x and q2r.x as pointed out by Prof. Eyvaz Isaev in his post dated back to August 4 2010. However, he didn't mention how to fix this problem. Does anyone have any idea? Any suggestion or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.
