[Pw_forum] Prolems with tetrahedra method

[yumin qian]

Dear   Eyvaz Isaev
         Thank you for your reply, it is very kind of you,
 2>    When I use the kvecs_FS.x to generate the k-points for the nscf
calculation, the output return :

>     from tetrahedra : error #         1
>     cannot remap grid on k-point list

I can not understand this, because kvecs_FS is not related  with any
program, in particular,  to tetrahedra, who complains.


what I mean is when I use the kvec_FS.x to generate the k-points and add the
k-points to the the input file for the nscf calculation
 I run the pw.x  the output give

>     from tetrahedra : error #         1
>     cannot remap grid on k-point list

For example, to calculate electron-phonon coupling coefficient, for isolated
systems, etc., etc.,

There are so many case that you can't use tetrahedra method, or can you tell
me for which case that the tetrehedra method can be used safely?.

Thank you.
