<div dir="ltr">Dear Prof. Peter,<div><br></div><div> I have sent the struct file after 4 successive optimizations (a) volume, (b) c/a, (3) b/a, (4) force. That's why the value is a bit different than the reported one in the mail. It is true that different values of c/a do not change the value of constant volume. But my question is the difference in conventional unit cell volume is coming between the cases when we are obtaining unit cell volume from volume optimization and in the next step while optimized c/a is calculated by keeping the original volume constant. </div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to listen from you.</div><div><br></div><div>with regards, . </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 12 Jun 2020 at 22:08, Peter Blaha <<a href="mailto:pblaha@theochem.tuwien.ac.at">pblaha@theochem.tuwien.ac.at</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Just to contribute to the complicated algebra:<br>
