Constrained optimization
« on: October 11, 2012, 05:37:19 AM »
Hello everyone!
I want to freeze coordinates y and z and leave unfreezed coordinate x for some atoms. I have looked though the documentation and found out that it can be done with $m-matrix option. As I understood in order to freeze coordinates y and z for the atom number X,  I must create following input $m-matrix for atom X
                               X  1.0 0.0 0.0
I started optimization in cortesian coordinates  using jobex script, but all atoms changed their coordinates  Another way to freeze some of the cartesians I found at TM forum, to add 1 0 0 mask to the line of cartesian coordinates for atom X  in coord file after a blank line to freeze x and z coordinates. It did not worked either. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
