Hi, I am relatively new to NWCHEM and I'm having trouble getting any of my CDFT geometry optimizations to converge. I have had no problems with regular DFT optimizations, only CDFT.
I have a large molecule (128 atoms, 639 electrons). I optimized the geometry with regular DFT with BP86/LANL2DZ/3-21G, and used this output as the input to my CDFT job (below) also using BP86/LANL2DZ/3-21G. Nothing I have tried seems to work, I always get errors in my output. This job ran for around 9 days before failing. I also included the end of the output file below. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Matt

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 2 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD
with errorcode 0.
NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.
