point charges


  • Guest -
I would like to include circa 2000 point charges in my calculations, but nwchem quits with a message
momint0: maxbqtype too small 21
if the number of bq centers is larger than 20. Is there a way to increase the number of bq centers?

It is not the issue that it cannot do more centers, just not more types of centers. I assume you gave each point charge a different name, like bqCl, bqO, bqO1, bqO2, etc. If they are point charges, simply do something like bqH for all of them, do not associate a basis set with it and give them a charge. We have an alternative approach available, defining a bq block separately from the geometry. This should be available in our upcoming development release.

Hi Arek,

Please download the latest NWChem 6.0 tar. We patched a few issues including a couple involving the Bq charges. Can you send me your input file as well ?

Best,
