6.8.2. Import Keywords¶
Only keywords (calculation conditions) are read from the existing Gaussian input file.
6.8.3. Run¶
If Gaussian's input file is opened in the main window, use Gaussian to execute it. If it is not open, save the Gaussian input file and run Gaussian.
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.
Gaussian's program path can be changed with:: menuselection: Tools –> Preferences –> Program Path.
Following file will be generated with execution. For example, the file/folder name when the input file is: file: water.gjf is shown together.
