[QE-users] Phonon calculation with DFT-D3 correction

Hello all,

I am currently trying to perform phonon calculation with DFT-D3 correction.
Based on what I read from d3hess.x documentation, I believe I can include
dispersion effects on vibrational frequencies by:

   1. Relax / Scf calculation
   2. run d3hess.x
   3. run ph.x

However, I encounter an error on step2, with the error message being:

 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     task #        28
     from pbcgdisp : error #         1
     Atom displacement not implemented with the threebody term
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

My input file for scf is as follows:

Can someone advise on what could be the possible error? Thanks!
