Dear all,
I recently upgraded to mopac 2002 built in ChemDraw for Windows. I'm
trying to get a force calculation running but I'm stuck at this:
- when I use AM1 GNORM=0.01 everything is ok, i get a nice output file;
- when I use AM1 FORCE I get back ** GRADIENT IS TOO LARGE TO ALLOW
FORCE MATRIX TO BE CALCULATED, (LIMIT=10) ** EITHER ADD 'LET' OR
REDUCE GRADIENT USING 'TS' OR OTHER GEOMETRY OPTIMIZER~
- if I use AM1 FORCE TS, or AM1 FORCE LBFGS, I get back MORE THAN ONE
GEOMETRY OPTION HAS BEEN SPECIFIED; CONFLICT MUST BE RESOLVED BEFORE JOB
WILL RUN.
This happens for any molecule. Is this my incompetence, software
conflict or simple mis-installation?
Any suggestion is welcome,
Gonalo Justino
