Well, if all you want to do is change the volume of the cell, keeping the
shape constant you are basically changing celldm(1), aka alat. A
single-parameter minimization can easily be done by hand: compute a few
values in a +/-5% of where you thin the minimum would be and fit the energy
with a parabola.

Hello Lorenzo,

Are you sure this works for all Bravais lattice types?

Because I am getting the following error:

------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
     task #        24
     from cell_dofree : error #         1
     Isotropic expansion is only allowed for ibrav=1; i.e. for simple cubic

------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------

Also, my system is 2D, so I was already using the 2Dxy option of
cell_dofree. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Eleni
