This is because I’m going to use this geometry as the initial guess for the geometry optimization demonstration. Besides the use of Hartee Fock theory, density functional theory (DFT) and semiempirical methods, high level ab initio quantum chemical methods, based on the configuration interaction and coupled cluster methods, are included into ORCA to an increasing degree. [G16 Rev. $\endgroup$ – Wildcat Jul 13 '17 at 22:52 If, having checked the convergence summaries (e.g. I'm using PACKMOL to create the input files. In ORCA the NEVPT2 approach is an efficient and accurate way to do this.
active orbitals, and optimization of the orbitals. Basis Sets; Density Functional (DFT) Methods; Solvents List SCRF The most important are: Cartesian coordinates can be fixed by setting the appropriate optimization flags to zero. BP86 def2-SVP Opt # BP86 is here the method (DFT functional), def2-SVP is the basis set and Opt is # the jobtype (geometry optimization). $\endgroup$ – Wildcat Jul 13 '17 at 22:45 1 $\begingroup$ @Feodoran, COPT in ORCA means that optimization is done directly in Cartesian coordinates without even constructing internal ones.
A wide range of methods exist that allow constraints to be applied to a geometry. As shown previously, if you save the above input as water_sp.inp, you can run this calculation by using the run-Orca-4.0.1 script: $ run-Orca-4.0.1 water_sp.inp The program continues with a calculation of vibrational frequencies, which can be found under string VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES, IR SPECTRUM, THERMOCHEMISTRY. The SCF converges at initial geometry nicely, the gradient is also fine, but that shit happens: there is some problem in relaxation step.
ORCA is able to carry out geometry optimizations and to predict a large number of spectroscopic parameters at different levels of theory.

I just started running geometry optimizations for a system containing multiple water molecules surrounding one solute molecule in Mopac under PM3 theory.

Many computer graphics problems require computing geometric shapes subject to certain constraints. GaussView is a nice visualization tool, however it only formally supports Gaussian.

Presented at: IPCO 2016: International Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization, Liege, Belgium, 1-3 June 2016.Published in: Louveaux, Quentin and Skutella, Martin eds. As I pick up the ropes I’ll do my best to keep an account of any useful techniques I learn. I’ve switched from using Gaussian to ORCA. ORCA is a very powerful code for quantum chemistry study, however, currently limited programs can be used for visualizating optimization and vibration analysis task of ORCA. Indicates a geometry optimization calculation. LBFGS: WARNING - Geometry optimization failed to converge after 30 steps. On most of the calculations I've tried, the optimization runs very briefly and gives the following error: *** THE OPTIMIZATION HAS CONVERGED *** ***** Following the prinitng of the converged geometry, ORCA does a final single point energy calculation, printing more information.
