Once you know (from eplot) at which geometry E is the lowest,
there is no other choice than to manually enter in case.struct
the lattice constants and angles of that geometry.

In the volume optimization, normally, we get a different volume than the original volume for the minimum energy from E Vs V plot. Then, which structure file we should use for the rest of the calculation ( for U + SO)? Do we have structure data for minimum energy written in a file, if so what is that?
