Dear Blaha Sir,
1. First I prepared a case.struct file with optimized lattice parameters,
having F43m spacegroup (216). Which F lattice. it is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------

F   LATTICE,NONEQUIV.ATOMS:  3 216_F-43m
MODE OF CALC=RELA unit=ang
 13.647608 13.647608 13.647608 90.000000 90.000000 90.000000
ATOM   1: X=0.50000000 Y=0.50000000 Z=0.50000000
          MULT= 1          ISPLIT= 2
Rb         NPT=  781  R0=0.00001000 RMT=    2.5000   Z: 37.000
LOCAL ROT MATRIX:    1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000
ATOM   2: X=0.25000000 Y=0.25000000 Z=0.25000000
          MULT= 1          ISPLIT= 2
Zn         NPT=  781  R0=0.00005000 RMT=    2.5000   Z: 30.000
LOCAL ROT MATRIX:    1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000
ATOM   3: X=0.00000000 Y=0.00000000 Z=0.00000000
          MULT= 1          ISPLIT= 2
Bi         NPT=  781  R0=0.00000500 RMT=    2.5000   Z: 83.000
LOCAL ROT MATRIX:    1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000
24      NUMBER OF SYMMETRY OPERATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Then I created a supercell (1x1x1) using wien2k, having P lattice but
with the same space group. case_super .struct file is as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------

P   LATTICE,NONEQUIV. ATOMS 12
MODE OF CALC=RELA unit=ang
 13.647608 13.647608 13.647608 90.000000 90.000000 90.000000
ATOM   1: X=0.50000000 Y=0.50000000 Z=0.50000000
          MULT= 1          ISPLIT= 2
Rb         NPT=  781  R0=0.00001000 RMT=    2.5000   Z: 37.0
LOCAL ROT MATRIX:    1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000
And so on ................. till
ATOM  12: X=0.00000000 Y=0.50000000 Z=0.50000000
          MULT= 1          ISPLIT= 2
Bi         NPT=  781  R0=0.00000500 RMT=    2.5000   Z: 83.0
LOCAL ROT MATRIX:    1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000
   0      NUMBER OF SYMMETRY OPERATIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------
3. Then I copied case_super.struct to case.struct file and used the command
(phonopy --wien2k -d --dim="2 2 2" -c case.struct) to run phonopy with a
supercell of (2x2x2). its output is as follows:
---------------------------------------------------
           _
  _ __ | |__   ___  _ __   ___   _ __  _   _
 | '_ \| '_ \ / _ \| '_ \ / _ \ | '_ \| | | |
 | |_) | | | | (_) | | | | (_) || |_) | |_| |
 | .__/|_| |_|\___/|_| |_|\___(_) .__/ \__, |
 |_|                            |_|    |___/
                                       2.7.0

Python version 3.8.4
Spglib version 1.15.1

Calculator interface: wien2k
Crystal structure was read from "RbZnBi.struct".
Unit of length: au
Displacements creation mode
Settings:
  Supercell: [2 2 2]
Spacegroup: F-43m (216)
Use -v option to watch primitive cell, unit cell, and supercell structures.

Number of non-equivalent atoms in RbZnBi.structS-001.in: 40
Number of non-equivalent atoms in RbZnBi.structS-002.in: 38
Number of non-equivalent atoms in RbZnBi.structS-003.in: 40
"phonopy_disp.yaml" and supercells have been created.

Summary of calculation was written in "phonopy_disp.yaml".
                 _
   ___ _ __   __| |
  / _ \ '_ \ / _` |
 |  __/ | | | (_| |
  \___|_| |_|\__,_|
------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. It is clear from the output that the space group is not changed. It
generates one file for a perfect supercell and 3 files (case-xxx.struct)
for supercells with displacements. case-xxx.struct is as follows:
---------------------------------------------------
Title
P   LATTICE,NONEQUIV.ATOMS: 96
MODE OF CALC=RELA
 27.295216 27.295216 27.295216 90.000000 90.000000 90.000000
ATOM  -1: X=0.25073273 Y=0.25000000 Z=0.25000000
          MULT= 1          ISPLIT= 8
Rb         NPT=  781  R0=0.00001000 RMT=   2.50000   Z: 37.0
LOCAL ROT MATRIX:    1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000
And so on.........till
ATOM -96: X=0.50000000 Y=0.75000000 Z=0.75000000
          MULT= 1          ISPLIT= 8
Bi         NPT=  781  R0=0.00000500 RMT=    3.0000   Z: 83.000
LOCAL ROT MATRIX:    1.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 1.0000000 0.0000000
                     0.0000000 0.0000000 1.0000000
   0      NUMBER OF SYMMETRY OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Then I picked one of the case-xxx.struct files and put in another
directory for initialization and started step by step initialization. and
perform x nn: Which Shows following warning:

 WARNING: Mult not equal. PLEASE CHECK outputnn-file
 WARNING: ityp not equal. PLEASE CHECK outputnn-file

6. Then I tried to increase RMT up 3. It now shows the following message:
ERROR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 RMT(  1)=3.00000 AND RMT( 41)=3.00000
 SUMS TO 6.00000 GT NNN-DIST= 5.89806
WARNING: Mult not equal. PLEASE CHECK outputnn-file
 WARNING: ityp not equal. PLEASE CHECK outputnn-file

Please suggest What should I do? I shall be grateful to you!

Thanks and Regards
