Dear Paolo,

thanks to this conversation I learned that one can use Wyckoff position in QE - when was it implemented? Anyway, I directly wanted to try it with a system I'm studying just to realize that it is not working...

Space group 62 (Pnma) has only the Wyckoff position 4a, 4b, 4c implemented, position 8d is missing.

However, I can' implement it by just editing wypos.f90 as there are only 2 possible input parameters inp1 and inp2 and I don't want to change all other positions in the code where wypos is used (it would take some time which I don't have) but it should be mentioned in the description explicitly that positions where one needs three independent parameters are not supported ;) Otherwise people like me could start to wonder why there is an error

"position not available"

and ask questions like "What is wrong with my input?"... Well, at least I didn't ask this question...

Regards

Thomas

I agree. It wasn't clearly explained in the documentation (or maybe it wasn't explained at all) but "nat" for Wyckoff position input is the number of independent sites, not the total number of atoms

    Dear han.
    Because "nat" means simply the number of lines to be input not the
    number of atoms generated via all of wyckoff sites.
