[QE-users] Calculations with van der Waals correction stopped with an error

Hello,
by having a look at the dft-d3 code (subroutine 'setfuncpar' in 'core.f90')
I see that the functional you enforced, which corresponds to the 'optbk88'
dft shortname is not available. I don't know if it can be added
straightforwardly or not. I will have a look, but I hope that someone that
knows the dft-d3 code better than me will do it too.
Cheers,
Fabrizio
