Hello,
I am trying to construct the proper input for vc-relax calculations for ZrSnS3, using following crystal data and qe input file, see below.
I'm getting "invalid np," error which typically occurs when the specified parameters for FFT are incorrect, if I read correctly.
I would appreciate any insights in correcting my input file.
Regards
