@shivamkansara

Hello developer,
First of all, I appreciate the program, and here I am new to supercell program, so I don't know fluent use of it. I am trying to simplify the cif file for the POSCAR, but as I am new to this program, I am facing some issues. it will be good if you can help me to solve.
The attached cif file is generated by using JCPDS.
