You should be able to---the catch is that the allowed fluctuations are
isotropic scaling of the cell. Simulations that allow the unit cell
to change shape are not implemented in this context. Another caveat is
that the cell needs to be described by parameters a,b,c and (angles)
alpha,beta,gamma where the first cell length a is assumed along the x-axis
and b is in the xy plane
good luck
