Dear Fhokrul,

When you calculate the Z2 number, you have to be sure that there is no band crossing in the k-plane. Otherwise, the results are meaningless even it’s nontrivial. Since there are two Dirac points at k2=0 and k1=0, so you can’t use the value. WannierTools don’t tell you there is a node when you calculate the WCC.
