    Dear Seyed Mojtaba Rezaei Sani,<br>
    <br>
    Thank you for your reply.<br>
    No I did not set <tt>cell dynamics='damp-w'<br>
      But I figure that </tt>cell_dofree corresponds  to <tt>the
      Cartesian axis and not to the cell.<br>
      So it may not work.<br>
      Anyway, I solved this issue by calculating energy of structures
      with different lattice parameters.<br>
      Thanks again,<br>
      Best,<br>
      <br>
                       Éric.<br>
