Different phonon dispersion between CSLD ploter and Phonopy used FC from CSLD #9

Hi,Dr Zhou

I am trying to use CSLD to extract force constants for ShengBTE to calculate thermal conductivity of CuInTe2.
I find a strange problem. CSLD can give a picture of phonon dispersion and it seems to be OK.

fromCSLD

**However, when I used csld_main --override '[export_potential] original_shengbte_format=true' --override '[export_potential] export_shengbte=2 2 2 2' --save_pot_step 1 --phonon to export Force constants for the next calculation and use Phonopy to plot phonon dispersion, the strange phonon dispersion occurs as shown below.

WithPhonopy

I attached the POSCAR(This POSCAR are used for prim = POSCAR) and band.conf used in the Phonopy. Very greateful if you can have a look and give any suggestion.
