Dear users,
I want to calculate the lattice parameters A and C for the tetragonal
structure of CaSiO3 whose relaxed calculation gave me the following output
at the end of zero pressure calculation.

  -0.720096452  -0.526035706   0.969477304

Can anyone please let me know how do I obtain A and C, from the obtained
cell parameters above so that it gives the volume same as the new unit-cell
volume printed in the previous line.

Regards.
