[QE-users] Problem in ph.x and epw.x (Wrong classes for C_3v) -

[Gopalan, Sanjay]

Dear all,


I have been trying to calculate el-ph coupling constant for monolayer MoTe2 using QE and EPW.


While calculating the phonon energies using ph.x I get error as


     task #         3
     from divide_class : error #         1
     Wrong classes for C_3v

But when I add the tag search_sym=.FALSE. as directed in this https://lists.quantum-espresso.org/pipermail/users/2017-August/039055.html, I am able to calculate the phonon energies.

But, when I try to calculate el-ph coupling constant using EPW, I get the same error. Is there any way to switch off symmetry in EPW or other ways to overcome this error in ph.x?
