6.7. menu
It is a menu related to GAMESS.
In order to use GAMESS you need to install GAMESS separately. The way to install GAMESS is described in Installing Winmostar and solvers.
6.7.1. Workflow Setup
Sets up and executes the GAMESS calculation flow in project mode. Local jobs in project mode will use the binary specified in GAMESS(1) in .
- Preset
Import and saves a preset of settings.
- # of Jobs
Specify the number of jobs.
- Enable parameter/structure scan
This feature requires the purchase of an add-on. It allows you to run multiple calculations where only certain parameters differ (parameter scan) or to run calculations with the same parameters for multiple structures (structure scan).
Click Config to open the configuration window for the scan calculation. For parameter scans, select %WM_SCAN1% for the Target Variable and enter the parameters you wish to set for %WM_SCAN1% in each row of the Values. Then, enter %WM_SCAN1% in the parameters you want to set in the Workflow Settings window or Keyword Settings window. For structure scan, select %WM_STRUCT% for Target Variable when the animation appears in the molecule display area (e.g., by opening an SDF file).
After the scan calculation is finished, use to tabulate the calculation results.

6.7.3. Import Keywords
Only keywords (calculation conditions) are read from the existing GAMESS input 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, the atomic coordinate format of $DATA changes according to the setting of COORD in $CONTRL; for ZMTMPC, the format is MOPAC’s Z-matrix format, otherwise it is Cartesian format.
(1) GAMESS run , (2) GAMESS run are intended to be used with different versions of GAMESS, depending on the situation. The difference between (1) Execute GAMESS , (2) Execute GAMESS is the program path of GAMESS to be invoked. The program path used for each menu can be changed in .
To use the external basis function file (: command: $ BASIS EXTFIL = .T.), Put
basis.libin 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.inpis also shown.
type
Description
water.outCalculation log file.
water.inp.batThis is a batch file for running GAMESS.
water.punThe 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. Show log excerpts
Excerpts of key information from the out file.
6.7.7. 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 operation area.
6.7.8. Analyses
6.7.8.1. Molecular Orbitals, Charge
Retrieve and display molecular orbital and charge information from out file information
Information on the charge read can be displayed in Viewport by selecting and so on.
See Energy Level Diagram window , Surface Setup / Cubgen window for subwindow operation.
6.7.8.2. UV-Vis Spectra
Displays UV-Vis spectra from information in out files.
See UV-Vis Spectrum window for subwindow operation.
6.7.8.3. NMR Spectra
Display NMR spectra from information in out file.
See NMR Window for subwindow operation.
6.7.8.4. IR/Raman
Display vibration spectra (IR or Raman spectra) from the information in the out file.
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.
6.7.8.5. 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. If you want to average the charges of structurally equivalent atoms (e.g. the three hydrogen atoms of a methyl group) after choosing No, use Average the group’s charge.
Note that Firefly is not supported by this feature.
Warning
To use this function, CygwinWM setup is required.
6.7.9. Edit PDB file
Editing of atom deletion etc. is done while leaving residue information etc. of PDB data etc.
