[Wien] TETRA for 2D system

Thank you Sir.
I see in the case of mBJ the value in the case.grr file is updating in each
cycle.
So what I understand now is:
Perform mBJ on a well relaxed bulk structure  and then use the case.grr
file for surface calculation.

But for me, it is difficult to get the exact struct file for its bulk form.
The monolayer is reported for the very first time in recent.
I took the cif file from a literature paper and no information about its
exact bulk form (c parameter and how monolayer was created). No response
from the authors.

I took a rough estimate of c parameter from its original Bulk material from
MP and doing a test calculation (without relaxing the structure)  for mBJ
to get the grr file.
Is it okay to do this?
Please guide me.

Thank you very much
Fatima
