strange behavior on Driver module


Clicked A Few Times
Dear NWChem Users and developers,

I found a unexpected behavior on the Driver module.

Using the keyword "loose" I was expecting to run my optimization by this criteria ( http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/DRIVER ):

GMAX 0.0045d0
GRMS 0.0030d0
XMAX 0.0054d0
XRMS 0.0036d0

but reading the output of my calculations I found:

maximum gradient threshold         (gmax) =   0.004500
rms gradient threshold (grms) = 0.003000
maximum cartesian step threshold (xmax) = 0.018000
rms cartesian step threshold (xrms) = 0.012000

that is the default criteria *10. I also checked that the geometry optimization task used the last parameters.

Someone knows how can I fix it? (Anyway, using the keywords for each parameters it works well).

Best Regards


Ale

Thank you for bringing to our attention the fact that the documentation was inconsistent with the loose
parameters used by driver. I have updated the documentation to reflect the parameters in use.

Thanks you for the code that we can use for our research.
