Hi,
I would like to ask if it is possible to get Numerical Frequencies by doing a double displacement across each direction.
That is, 2 points in negative and 2 points in positive displacement.
I have some rather difficult cases , where the potential energy surface is really flat and as a result I get imaginary frequencies.
However, if i perform analytical frequencies, I don't get any imaginary numbers.
I tried giving a smaller step size, increasing the $scfconv criteria, adding the $denconv and the weight derivatives options in the control, but it did not always help.
The problem is that the system is huge and aoforce takes forever .
I am only interested in the vibrations of my guest molecule, so i can ignore the vibrations from the host material.
Has it been implemented in NumForce ? is there any 'secret' and non-documented keyword ?
any hints are welcome.
Thank you,
Andreas
