Dear Laurence Marks Sir, Thank you very much for your response. I have understood what you want to say but still pardon me for asking that question again for absolute assurance: Sir, *is that if we use option 6 then only a, b, c are varied while the volume is kept constant?* looking for your

Dear wien2k users, We are working on an orthorhombic cell and want to find out the lattice parameters and unit cell volume after extraction of some ions from that unit cell. There is an option : *OPTION 6 in volume optimization in which we can vary a, b and c (3D case)* Now my query are the fo

It varies a,b,and c and does NOT keep volume constant. But when you "try" it, you could find it out yourself !! Note: For such low symmetry cases, usually one must also optimize internal coordinates for each calculation. Thus edit the optimize.job file. Am 21.03.2012 15:25, schrieb shamik chakr

If you look at what "optimize" does, it just varies the lattice parameters in some reasonable fashion then runs a csh (tcsh) script for each different one. There are then a couple of small utility programs for doing simple plots and/or finding the minimum energy. It is only designed to handle relat
