Hi,

I'm calculating the bulk modulus of different types of ice using ev.x.

But when the volume of .cif file is far from equilibrium volume, more than 7% 
range , B0 goes too high and B0' is usually low (~1).


What is the right procedure to calculate the bulk modulus?

Should I vary volume until I find the lowest energy? Or should I always keep 
the range of around 7% from .cif file.


Thank you in advance,
