Dear Quantum Espresso friends,

All my systems of interest have S2-symmetry, i.e. there is an inversion centre 
present.
In one of my previous mails, I complained about loosing symmetry. I calculate 
my systems
sequently with increased accuracy. I clearly started with a system with an 
inversion centre.

There was a message in the output of the first calculation:

     2 Sym. Ops., with inversion, found ( 1 have fractional translation)

I realise now that I did not read this message carefully. I missed the last 
part about fractional translation.
What does it mean?

At some point in the sequence of calculations, the output contained the 
following message about symmetry:

    No symmetry found

I was surprised about the lost of symmetry. Is it related to the fractional 
translation?


Today I put a lot of effort to impose the symmetry. I read one part of the 
system from output and generated
the other part by inversion.

Now the output contained the following message:

    No symmetry found
          (note:  1 additional sym.ops. were found but ignored
           their fractional translations are incommensurate with FFT grid)

How can I bring the fractional translations of the sym.ops in commensurate mode 
with FFT grid?


Met vriendelijke groeten,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
With kind regards,
