Hi! I am LEX from Mexico and I am a newer NWChem user
I try to get the wavelength absorption by a tddft calculation.

Can anyone help me? I mean,

Hi,

How many processors are you running this calculation on ?

Hi,

I noticed that you are specified the point group as the TARGETSYM.
This should be the irrep label and not the point group.

Best regards,
