<p>WIEN2k does the calculations in the primitive unit cell, whose volume is given by :VOL in case.scf</p>
<p>Is a^2 c Sin 60 not the volume of the conventional cell?</p>
<p>You can visualize the primitive and conventional cells of case.struct with xcrysden (press F3 or F4).<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div> I am also certain that I am not doing any mistake in the formula of Volume=a^2 c Sin 60. However, the V0 printed in the window showing the fitted BM curve is coming much less than that expected from a^2 c Sin 60 . What could
be the cause? Is it related to the space group R_3 (space group no. 148)?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to your reply eagerly.</div>

</div>
<div> To remove the confusion I am sending the struct file which have been used in our simulation. I have good results as far as the volume optimization curve is concerned. However, while calculating the lattice parameters using the
formula V = a^2 c sin60 I got the low value of lattice parameters. My query is </div>
<div>(1) Whether I have done something wrong in the formula itself?</div>
<div>(2) While GGA is better than nlvdw in this case?</div>
