I am running MCSCF calculations for finally obtaining good electronic wavefunctions for later response calculations. Convergence of the electronic wavefuction is slow and I am looking for ways to speed things up. I wonder if reducing the threshold for the integrals maybe a good way.
From the manual of DALTON,
Code: Select all
*SUPINT
.THRESH
READ (LUCMD,*) THRSUP
Threshold for the supermatrix integrals. Read one more line containing the threshold.
Default is the same as the threshold for discarding the two-electron integrals (see the
chapter describing the molecule input format, Ch. 26).
Code: Select all
Integrals (Real). Indicates the threshold for which integrals smaller than this will
be considered to be zero. If not specified, a threshold of 1.0D-15 will be used. A
threshold of 1.0D-15 will give integrals correct to approximately 1.0D-13.
- 1. Are both parameters need to defined during the calculation or one is enough.
- 2. How to properly give input in the *.mol file.
For O2 I received this output (full file attached), at the end of the electronic part of the calculation,
Code: Select all
