[Wien] Fold2Bloch in parallel mode

The multiplicity 1:1:1 implies that the primitive cell and the supercell are the same. Thus, there is nothing to unfold. You should simply plot a classical band structure in this case.

Thank you

Subject: Re: [Wien] Fold2Bloch in parallel mode

Thanks for the replies. Using join_vectorfiles is working well. I have a
follow up question. I've been able to replicate the tutorials, and a
supercell of my own, but when I use fold2bloch on a single unit cell
with folds of 1:1:1 the weights in the case.f2b file are all 1. Do you
have any comment on why this might be?
Best Regards,
Tristan
