    Hello, can you provide a bit more information about what you are trying to do? Which subtool are you trying to use?

      I am using MIT Atomic-Scale Modelling Toolkit. I am tried to determine DOS and Raman Spectra of a new material (not listed there) ZnSnS3 of Trigonal symmetry (R3c, No. 161). Cell index=5 in Quantum Espresso. I have put atomic parameter A=B=C = 6.97A0 & alpha=beta=gamma=57.8 deg. However, after simulation the INPUT file is not showing the proper entry. It is showing Tricling structure. Can you please look into the matter and help?

        Ok, so you are trying to use the Quantum ESPRESSO subtool. Is there really a problem? If the structure and lattice vectors are correct, it doesn't matter if it is considered triclinic or if the actual Bravais lattice is identified.
