A question about relax
« on: January 11, 2009, 02:43:14 AM »
Hello,
   I am new to turbomole. I am doing optimazation with COSMO model. But I am getting the following error messages:

force constant matrix will be read from $forceapprox

  for BFGS(rank n) update of the hessian :
      norm(g)  =*********
      max(|g|) =*********  (threshold = 0.01)
    averag(g)  =*********  (threshold = 0.001)
 !!! WARNING !!! <diainv>: Matrix singular
determinant: 0.38685626-174 threshold: 0.10000000D-89

  EXPECTED ENERGY CHANGE from <g|F|g> : -133.73330
  OBSERVED ENERGY CHANGE              :   -7.92157 mHartree

 gradient            1   gchk :    18257644000.4163        gold :
   18257643999.0837

 MODTRACE: no modules on stack

  GETOLD : gradient mismatch !
 relax ended abnormally
relax step ended abnormally
next step = relax
RELAX termination criterium:= 0

  I would be grateful for any help to resolve this issue.
  Many thaks.

At which step did you get this error? Did you check if your internal coordinates are reasonable? Do you use symmetry?
