dear siesta users
i need to calculate the bulk modulus in order to test the pseudopotential for 
technetium. Tc is found in hexagonal structure, so along with varying the 
lattice constant, do i need to change 'c' as well?
is it enough to use md.variable cell? how will i know that cell geometry 
remains hexagonal?
should i fix the atomic positions? 
Is it all right if i test the pseudo for fcc structure instead and compare the 
results with available theoretical results.
