phonon dispersion in thermoit helps, thank you. I just do not see entropy (ever) converging in your slide...

one zero frequency mode is missingI see, thank you

one zero frequency mode is missingI am used to seeing 3 zero frequency modes in the crystal frequency calculation output. This urea crystal calculation has only two - I was wondering why and can I use this outcome for thermodynamics calculations with this missing mode

phonon dispersion in thermoDear all, what is the purpose of the phonon dispersion calculations according to the tutorial? What is the effect we are seeing, going beyond the gamma point?
https://tutorials.crystalsolutions.eu/tutorial.html?td=thermo&tf=thermo2#phonon
More importantly, how do I set it up properly? What size SCELPHONO should I be after? Is the point to have all of my crystals about the same atoms in the generated SCELPHONO for appropriate comparison? I was perusing the tutorial but I could not quite understand the purpose or the correct setup of SCELPHONO
thank you

D infinity h symmetryDavide, a follow up question. Will that not affect the resulting thermodynamics? I mean translational or rotational (I can never remember) thermodynamics is dependent on symmetry and I am calculating thermodynamic quantities here
-
D infinity h symmetryFor the isolated molecule such as CO2 which is D infinity h, what is the symmetry group? I could not find this one in the manual

SCANMODE io error Read_int_1dSo it turns out having fort.13 and fort.20 is not optional for restart. Now I still need help. I optimizing this 600 atom cluster with Ih and can see that it is not minimum, there are negatives - this is why I am scanning. The scan does not return a reasonable local minimum. I only scanned negative branch but I assume they are symmetrical.
I would appreciate any helphttps://www.dropbox.com/t/5jgMXmCEPNLGHpAY
PS. I would also like to ask developers to allow uploading compressed files to this forum

SCANMODE problemHi Aleks, I tried but ended up just using LDREMO keyword
Another superstrange thing (that of course was not happening yesterday), that I can't seem to specify initial and final step anymore properly, it divides it by 10... Bizzare. I now have to multiply initial step by 10 (-1.6 start I want I need to specify as 16!) so it startes at -1.6...My input is:
