Numforce results in zero hessian
« on: March 07, 2008, 11:31:16 AM »
Hi All,
I am calculating normal modes in the excited electronic state with NumForce for the molecule with 114 points (TURBOMOLE V5-7-1).
The job was restarted several times due to PC problems, but finally all the .grad and .dipole files are calculated and placed in /numforce/Kraftwerk directory.
The last restart of Numforce resulted in Hessian file containing only zero values.
Could anyone suggest any idea for solving this problem?

Thank you in advance,
Alex

Dear users of turbomole.
I am sorry for necroposting, I am new in turbomole and I have the same problem.
I made calculation on Turbomole6.3, ricc2 level, triplet state without excitation, cc-pvdz basis set.
dscf, grad, jobex and aoforce works correctly.
Numforce results in:
calculation of gradients seems to be well
In calculation of hessian

, $hessian (projected) also, wherever group "hessian"  in control file contain some "normal" numbers.

file hessian in directrory "numforce" also contain just zeros, the same is "vib_normal_modes".
.grad and .dipole files in KraftWerk directory looks normal.

I would be thankfull for any comments.

Hi!

Maybe there were problems computing the gradients. Informations should be able to find in numforce/KraftWerk/*.log.

Cheers,
