[Wien] Diamond optimized

Thank you, I tried with a larger difference and it gives the correct orthorhombic structure Fmmm

In the Al.struct file there is no distinction between cubic F (225) and orthorhombic Fmmm (69) and SYMMETRY does not choose one of them, instead it gives an error, which is confusing.
But as you say different parts of the symmetry analysis have different parameters.
________________________________
Make larger distortions, like 2.57, 3.571 3.572

Otherwise there is some inconsistency  between different parts of the
symmetry analysis and some consider these numbers still as identical,
others do not.
