But I did no-restriced motion input. So, it's not clear for me what quality of this minimum is. Sometimes I got also "free internal rotation (fir) frequencies" i.e. 0/cm (this was after a calculation by dihedral driver option or from an stochastic search), and if I made little changes in one dihedral angle, this became a saddle point. But the restricted frequencies remained restricted ones. Can someone help me with experience or some papers?
