Dear users,

I'm hoping someone can provide me with reassurance. I'm using input atom positions with a high multiplicity (ie. there are 4 primitive cells in the my input file). I have to set chkprim to 0 for the code to run and then I still get some comments about the cell being primitive. does abinit automatically find the translational symmetries to make this effectively work as if there was only one primitive cell? would I buy myself any speed by reducing the inputs to a primitive cell?

thanks ,

Tim Mason
