Why adding an independent job changes the following calculation?


Just Got Here
Dear all,

I'm trying to calculate the electronic coupling between two benzene molecules using the following input (simply 3 cdft calculations plus 1 et). The V(RP) I got without the marked section 2 was reasonable, but I was surprised and still confused to see the V(RP) was drastically changed by adding the section 2, which seems to be independent from the remaining. Did the ET module include results from this seemingly independent job please? Thank you.

Best regards,
Tai
