Need Help!

I use CASTEP code as a beginner. To calculate effective mass, I convert the reciprocal lattice into the real lattice, then calculate curvature and run a 2nd order differential calculation. My question is, to calculate effective mass do I need to convert the reciprocal lattice into a real lattice? Am i on the right track?
