Dear Chandrika
You cannot change ibrav without changing the atom positions. To change the
structure from simple cubic to face-centered cubic (FCC), you need to make
sure that the atomic positions are arranged in a manner consistent with the
FCC crystal structure. The FCC structure has atoms located at the corners
of the unit cell as well as at the centers of each face.
