symetry error in conversion from abinit to Yambo

Post by rhine » Thu Jan 21, 2010 1:55 pm

Dear All

When I convert the KSS file generated by abinit 5.8.4 using a2y, I met the error shown below. I really have no idea about this error and anyone can help me? Thanks a lot!

The abinit-input file to generate KSS file is also attached.

The non-symmorphic symmetries are not support by Yambo
you have to uncomment the flag

symmorphi 0

in your abinit input file

see: http://www.abinit.org/documentation/hel ... #symmorphi
