Hi All,
I have an input file for calculation

But the code log out 
chkdilatmx: ERROR
The new primitive vectors rprimd are too large with to the old rprimd and the 
accpmpanging dilatmx: this large of unit cell parameters is not allowed by 
the present value  You nee at least dilatmx=6.417E+02


However, I modified the input parameter dilatmx=6.417E+02, but the 
calculation is wrong
by the way, the code can't recognize the space group.
How can I mofified the input parameter and get the result.
Thanks a lot.
