Dear Community users,
I am trying to perform a qmd calculation in nwchem, however, the job finishes with error. I will be thankful if any one can suggest some help. Also i would like to know whether there are methods such as congugate gradient or steepest descent incorporated in dft module of nwchem. If yes kindly let me know how to invoke them.

My input is as under


start qmd_fe3c
echo
geometry noautosym noautoz
Fe -0.000893 -1.237436 0.078510
Fe 1.206804 0.469766 -0.121583
Fe -1.206122 0.471174 -0.121584
C     0.000917     1.284818     0.713513
end
basis
Fe library lanl2dz_ecp
C library 6-31G*
end

ecp
Fe library lanl2dz_ecp
end

dft

convergence energy 1d-3
direct
end

qmd
 nstep_nucl  40000
dt_nucl 10.0
targ_temp 600.0
end
task dft qmd



and the error is
