Hi Paolo,
I meanwhile recognized that I can#t do PDOS calculations with this Fe-Pseudopotential since it does not include the pseudo-wavefunctios.
Do you know further databases I can check for suitable pseudopotentials
Thanks and regards
Stephan Ludwig

Hi Paolo
thank you for your reply. I do not have problems with fractional translation symetrys.
therefore the option use_all_frac = true does not help
The warning message I obtain looks like this
warning: symmetry operation # 2 not compatible with FFT grid.
0 -1 1
0 -1 0
1 -1 0
warning: symmetry operation # 3 not compatible with FFT grid.
-1 0 0
-1 0 1
-1 1 0
warning: symmetry operation # 4 not compatible with FFT grid.
0 1 -1
1 0 -1
0 0 -1
warning: symmetry operation # 6 not compatible with FFT grid.
0 1 -1
0 1 0
-1 1 0
warning: symmetry operation # 7 not compatible with FFT grid.
1 0 0
1 0 -1
1 -1 0
warning: symmetry operation # 8 not compatible with FFT grid.
0 -1 1
-1 0 1
0 0 1
Is there another option lice Use_all_frac which includes also these symetries?
Thanks and regards
Stephan

Set the FFT grid to a value that is commensurate with your
fractional translation, or set option "use_all_frac" to T
if you do not plan to perform phonon calculations
