Dear Steven Homolya

Thank you for your help and your clarifications and sorry for your time. With
your suggestions I have corrected my input file for 2x2x2 fcc Nickel With one

--------------------------------------

Do you know if there is somes method to find the inequivalent cordonnates of
atoms in super cell such as 27 and 64 fcc cell.
I just know that for 27 atom I must use 3x3x3 fcc supercell , and for 64
4x4x4 fcc supercell. Can I deduce the cordonnates of other atoms with
translation of 2x2x2 fcc super cell atom's ? I have problem to find this.

thanks Steve for your help
Sincerly yours
Megchiche
