Question about "DRIVER"


Clicked A Few Times
Hi,

I just start to use NWCHEM. I tried to use the keyword "DRIVER" but it seemed not work.


My input file


SCRATCH_DIR /home/scratch

The setting of "DRIVER" seemed no effect. All the parameters were set as default.
The output file was shown as follow

Is there anything wrong with my input file?

Hi

I think "Task scf optimize" must come after the DRIVER block. the way you have it now, the geometry optimization is carried out before the DRIVER block is read in.

It works.

Thank you.
