[Pw_forum] Abinitio calculation for Iridium

[Paolo Giannozzi]

In metals, the convergence of phonons with respect to the k-point grid can
be quite hard.
For some obscure reasons, if the following conditions are met:
- phonon wave-vector q not commensurate with k-point grid
- semicore electrons in valence
convergence is especially hard.
