Dear experts, 
I encountered an error in calculating the superconductivity of a bulk phase material in EPW 5.4 . I found a suggestion to remove "nosym= true" in nscf.in, (See " viewtopic.php?t=1597 ")I didn't set this because it was removed in EPW 5.3. Some input files are pasted under the guide. Please give me some suggestions to solve this problem.
 
Thank you.
Best,
ShiCong

Hi dsc,
Could you double check your phonon is calculated and the corresponding files are saved correctly in 'dvscf_dir = './save'' directory?

Re: Error in Calculating kgmap
Hi Hari,
I checked the save file carefully and there is no problem. And I recalculated the phon and used pp.py to generate the save file, but the problem was not solved. Do you have any suggestions?
