PHON is used when you want to consider the more complicated structure, 
but it's not the only way.

You mean "Is there any ways to determine the parameters?" ?
of course, Yes. Let refer the previous question "calculation the cell 
parameters in crystals" in forum.

With a simple orthorhombic lattice, you need the value of lattice 
constant of Cu, and estimate the celldm(1), celldm(2), and celldm(3) of 
unit cell from that value.

Let do similarly to Pt but for Cu values

Good luck
