[QE-users] Ekinc is zero when running CPMD simulation

Dear QE users,

I am trying to run cpmd simulation with NPT ensemble to find the final lattice constant of ZrS3 at specific temperature. I am wondering if Ekinc shows zero in evp file, and eigen values are all zero at first 100 iterations being a problem or not.

The input is:
