I have a finished mp2 calculation, where I want to get some orbitals. I tried to add the pointval commands to the control file and then run 'ricc2 -proper'. Sadly it does not produce any plt files. Even if I keep the control file unchanged and run ricc2 -proper he does not rewrite the files for TD and SD. On the other hand I don't get an error message either. The file just ends with:
*************************************************************

ricc2 ended normally
And that's it. It is possible that one file or another was lost (correctly: Not copied back from the computing node). Might that be an explanation?
best wishes!
P.S.: The same goes for the $pop keyword. He just ignores it...

Hello!
Yes, -proper seems broken in ricc2, in the way that it doesn't automatically do what it claims to. But you can do the same manually. If you've calculated the stuff needed for the density, for example using:
$ricc2
mp2
geoopt model=mp2
you should have a file called something like "mp2-gsdn-1a1-000-total.cao" in your directory. You can transform that into a .plt file by adding the following to control:
$anadens
calc totaldensity from
1d0 mp2-gsdn-1a1-000-total.cao
Then you'll get totaldensity.plt by running "ricc2 -fanal" or "ricc2 -proper", without any extra work.

Hello,
first: ricc2 supporsts the -proper flag only since TM V 5.10, older versions only accept the -fanal option and require the
$anadens data group in the control file
since TM V5.10 the -proper flag should work also for ricc2, but not that
-- it requires the calculation of a correlated density (if you just request a MP2 calculation without a gradient,
there is nothing to plot for ricc2, which you can't plot via dscf...) and as there is (as for the other programs)
no further input for the -proper option, the state for which the density is written to the interface files
must be uniequely defined via the 'geoopt model=xxx' option
-- you can give all the options for the generation of plot files already in the calculation of the gradient, but if
you use 'ricc2 -proper' after the gradient calculation it requires (as rimp2) that the density file (gsdens for
ground states and exdens for excited states) was kept
Thus, you either used TM V5.9.1 (or an older version) or the density files where not present because they have either not been calculated (not geoopt flag) or were lost...
