Dear kada galami,
what you need to do is to calculate the stress for the equilibrium
geometry and for a few slightly deformed cell shapes.
The way you choose to describe each of these cells is up to you.
Ibrav=0 is an option that gives you the possibility to define
directly the lattice vectors (in unit of celldm(1)).
If you want to describe a simple cubic cell of lattice spacing 3.14 bohrs
it's up to you to define
ibrav=1, celldm(1)=3.14
or
ibrav=0, celldm(1)=3.14
CELL_PARAMETERS
1.0 0.0 0.0
0.0 1.0 0.0
0.0 0.0 1.0
or
ibrav=0, celldm(1)=6.28
CELL_PARAMETERS
0.5 0.0 0.0
0.0 0.5 0.0
0.0 0.0 0.5
hope this helps,
stefano
