Hi Mozhreh,

If you look in the output file there is a section called SPGR| this is the
details about the space group. Here the correct space group was not
identified probably because your input geometry is not accurate enough.

 ----                   SPACE GROUP SYMMETRY INFORMATION

 SPGR| SPACE GROUP NUMBER:
    1
 SPGR| INTERNATIONAL SYMBOL:
   P1
 SPGR| POINT GROUP SYMBOL:
    1
 SPGR| SCHOENFLIES SYMBOL:
 C1^1
 SPGR| NUMBER OF SYMMETRY OPERATIONS:
   1
 SPGR| NUMBER OF UNIQUE ROTATIONS:
    1
 SPGR| NUMBER OF REDUCED SYMMETRY OPERATIONS:
   1
 SPGR| NUMBER OF PARTICLES AND SYMMETRIZED PARTICLES:                 40
   40
 SPGR| NUMBER OF ATOMS AND SYMMETRIZED ATOMS:                         40
   40
 SPGR| NUMBER OF CORES AND SYMMETRIZED CORES:                          0
    0
 SPGR| NUMBER OF SHELLS AND SYMMETRIZED SHELLS:                        0
    0

Ideally, you would use a CIF file and the software VESTA to generate
accurate input coordinates. You can also try the keyword EPS_SYMMETRY to
make the identification of the space group more permissive. The default is
1e-4, try 1e-3 and make sure you get the correct space group in the output
file.

Regarding the trajectory file, I don't understand what you mean by cubic,
again in the output file the system stays monoclinic throughout the
optimization. You should have a restart file which is the one you want to
check regarding your final structure.

Finally, if your goal is a phonon analysis, you may want to use PHONOPY
which is compatible with CP2K, instead of the internal vibrational analysis.

Regards,
Pierre
