[Wien] Si under strain

and your strained lattice with (a =5.49 , b= 5.43 , c = 5.38)  is tetragonal and also not F -43m which is cubic, isn't it ?

I guess you should find something in space group I 4_1/AMD (141), but it's your work to figure out how and why.

Actually I downloaded structure from COD base. So you are write its space group is fd3m and structure is Title

But strain application ((a =5.49 , b= 5.43 , c = 5.38)) does not allow fd-3m, definitely symmetry changed. If is make it primitive, it will be ok or not?

is wrong !

Before you start calculations you should know the crystal structure very well and you should know about symmetry and space groups.

Dear user
I computed Si BS for the structure (scfmbj.struct) attached herewith. When I apply strain (a+a*0.01, b, c-c*0.01) then symmetry changes (space group 1_P1). WIth this group calculations does not run every times QTLB error appears and I have done my best to apply each solution for it.
Secondly I got structure from wien2k examples. That works fine but when strain is applied then it behaves as a metal. Though this work has been done many times but I can not find my solution. I found VASP study but not wien2k study.
In VASP POSCAR is
cubic diamond

I changed this POSCAR to cif and used for wien2k (structure is attached TEST.struct) , then BS is correct, but after application of strain (1%) again it becomes metal.
I do not know how to apply strain in POSCAR.
Could you please guide me?
