COSMO isodensity cavity
« on: November 05, 2015, 04:40:47 AM »
Hi

I was trying to run a cosmo calculation with isodensity cavity, the manual says "perform a standard Cosmo calculation, add the isodensity options afterwards, and start the calculation
a second time". That's what I tried to do, I added $cosmo_isodens in the control file after running a cosmo calculation with standard cavity radius but the ridft output says(after printing the atomic coordinates and basis sets)-

"MODTRACE: no modules on stack

 ERROR: isodensity COSMO not impl. for parallel calculations
 ridft ended abnormally"


 Even if I run the calculation on one node, it says exactly the same thing. I'm adding my control file in case anyone wants to have a look at it. Can someone shed some some light? Thanks a lot!

Hello,

the isodensity cavity is not parallelized, as given in the error output. Please use the serial version of Turbomole instead:

unset PARA_ARCH
source $TURBODIR/Config_turbo_env
ridft &> ridft.out



Regards,

Uwe

Hi Uwe

Thank you so much! Sorry for posting this late but I was badly sick the last few days. I'm still having some problem running this calculation. Now it says I have illegal combination of keywords. I tried all sorts of variations but failed. The manual says,
"If the $cosmo isodens keyword is given without suboptions, a scaled iosodensity cavity with default settings will be created". So after defining $cosmo_atoms, I added $cosmo_isodens but it doesn't work. I tried including the sub options dx=0.3 and all_dens= 0.0016, the isodensity value of carbon; but the program says

MODTRACE: no modules on stack

 ERROR: illegal keyword combination: $cosmo_isorad + all_dens
.

Obviously I'm using wrong keyword combinations. This is what my cosmo part of control looks like-

$cosmo
  rsolv= 1.30
$cosmo_atoms
# radii in Angstrom units
c  52                                                                          \
   radius=  2.0000
ru 1-51                                                                        \
   radius=  2.2230
$cosmo_isodens
   dx= 0.3
   all_dens= 0.0016
$cosmo_out file=out.ccf

I also tried commenting out the radius of cosmo atoms and rsolv, but it doesn't work. Could you help me out? Again, thanks a lot for your time.

Hello,

is that Turbomole version 6.x ? There was a bug in the routine that checked the keywords - it does not allow to use the combination of isodens and all_dens options.

You could write the density values to the $TURBODIR/parameter/radii.cosmo file (replace the -1 at Ru by 0.0016) and remove the all_dens keyword.

Or, alternatively, use Turbomole version 7.x which has this bug fixed.

By the way: If you use the isodensity based cavity you do not need the $cosmo_atoms keyword.

Regards,

Uwe

Hi Uwe

Thank you so much! It solved the problem. Yes, I've been using 6.x version.

Thanks!

Hi Uwe

I have one last question. Since we don't have any optimized isodensity values for many elements in radii.cosmo file, is there a meaningful approach to select isodensity values for transition metals?

Thanks you so much!

Hello,

no, there is no black-box approach to select isodensity values. The optimized ones in the radii.cosmo file are from COSMO-RS calculations which have been fitted to experimental data. For transition metals there are not many reliable data points to fit the radii to.

I'd simply use a value for all transition metals (something between 0.001 and 0.003 as a starting point) and try to find a value which matches your needs. Once found, it is important to stick to this value in order to be able to compare total energies.

Instead of using all_dens it might be better to change the radii.cosmo file for each element individually.

Regards,

Uwe
