6.7.2. Import Keywords¶
Only keywords (calculation conditions) are read from the existing GAMESS input file.
6.7.3. Import from Punch File¶
6.7.3.1. Import $VEC¶
Import $VEC from the punch file.
6.7.3.2. Import $HESS¶
Import $HESS from the punch file.
6.7.4. (1) Run GAMESS, (2) Run GAMESS¶
If the input file of GAMESS is opened in the main window, execute GAMESS using that file. If it is not open, save the input file of GAMESS and execute GAMESS.
When saving the input file, output format of coordinates changes according to the selection of Coordinate Format choice (Z-Matrix or XYZ) and Z-Matrix / XYZ tab of Coordinate Viewer.
Difference between Run (1) GAMESS and Run (2) GAMESS is the program path of GAMESS to start. You can change the program path with . Run (1) GAMESS, Run (2) GAMESS is supposed to set Firefly or GAMESS of different versions etc. and use them while using them according to the scene It is.
To use the external basis function file (: command: $ BASIS EXTFIL = .T.), Put
basis.lib
in the same directory as GAMESS's EXE file. For WinGAMESS, specify setenv EXTBAS ../ basis.lib in :file:` runscript.csh`.Following file will be generated with execution. As an example, the file/folder name when the input file is
water.inp
is also shown.
type Description out filewater.out
Calculation log file. bat filewater.inp.bat
This is a batch file for running GAMESS. pun filewater.pun
It is a punch file for detailed result analysis.The job is run through Winmostar Job Manager.
6.7.5. Open Log File (out/log)¶
Open the out file with a text editor.
6.7.6. Animation(Optimization)¶
Create and display animation such as structure optimization, scanning, IRC calculation, etc. from the out file information.
For the animation display operation method, see Animation window.
6.7.7. Analyses¶
6.7.7.1. MO, UV-Vis, Charge & NMR¶
Obtain information on molecular orbital, UV-Vis, charge, NMR from theout file information and display it.
Information on the charge read can be displayed in Viewport by selecting
and so on.Refer to Energy Level Diagram window, MO Plot window, UV-Vis Spectrum window, NMR Window for how to operate the subwindow.
6.7.7.2. IR/Raman¶
Select the out file and display the vibration spectrum (IR or Raman spectrum).
After loading the IR spectrum from the out file of RUNTYP = HESSIAN, if you subsequently read the out Raman spectrum of :command: RUNTYP = RAMAN in this menu, both spectra are displayed simultaneously in the subwindow can.
Refer to IR Spectrum Window for how to operate the subwindow.
6.7.7.3. RESP Charges¶
Calculate point charge based on RESP method from punch file.
The punch file to be loaded must be output from a calculation performed with the RESP/ESP setting selected in the . The spin multiplicity is treated with the assumption of 1.
After being asked “Do you assign the same charge to an atom that is structurally equivalent to a molecule?”, when you click Yes, it internally uses acpype, and when you click No, it internally uses AmberTools directly to calculate the RESP charge. Basically, it is recommended to click Yes, but in such cases, click No. It is expected that the results of both calculations will not change significantly.
Warning
To use this function, CygwinWM setup is required.
6.7.8. PDB¶
6.7.8.1. Edit PDB File¶
Editing of atom deletion etc. is done while leaving residue information etc. of PDB data etc.
6.7.8.2. FMOutil¶
Start FMOutil.
6.7.9. Paired Interacting Orbitals¶
Paired Interacting Orbitals Executes analysis. For details, see PIO analysis window.
