&gt; Dear QE users,<br>
&gt;                            I am trying to do bulk calculations for MnSe in<br>
&gt; rocksalt and wurtzite structure. Its has AFM ground state in rocksalt<br>
&gt; structure but after checking convergence I am finding &quot;rocksalt&quot; structure<br>
&gt; to be energetically higher than wurtzite structure. I am pasting my segments<br>
