fractional coordinate entry
-
Hi all, I am not getting the right geometry inputs for 1/3 and 2/3 positions. For example, for the structure below, I am trying to enter for the group 164:
CRYSTAL 0 0 0 164 3.186 4.653 3 27 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0.333 0.6666 0.4134 8 0.3333 0.666 0.2128 and it ends up being incorrect stoichiometry, which tells me these fractional positions were not parsed correctly.

Hi,
please try to define the atomic positions with more figures.
This is important for 1/3 and 2/3 fractional coordinates.CRYSTAL 0 0 0 164 3.186 4.653 3 27 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0.33333333 0.66666666 0.4134 8 0.33333333 0.66666666 0.2128I hope it helps.
