Average value of lattice parameters from cell trajectory
Is there any post processing tools by which I can get average value of lattice parameters from cell trajectory? For example: I ran 'vc-cp' (CPMD) in quantum espresso (for Silicon) and Si.cel file is ...

Optical properties (temperature dependent dielectric constant) calculation using AIMD/CPMD: Is it possible with Quantum ESPRESSO?
I am trying to find dielectric constant using the mentioned method (10.48550/arXiv.2211.15571). They implement AIMD in VASP. Actually, I am familier with Quantum Espresso (not VASP) and using QE, I ...
