Gamess/Linux Keyboard Shortcuts by [deleted]

Linux commands

cd
Change directory
mkdir
Create directory
rmdir
Remove directory
rm
Remove file
cp
Copy file
ls
List of content of current directory
Exemple:
cp he.inp he3216.inp 

This will copy the file he.inp and rename the copy as he3216.inp

The studied atom/m­olecule

Multip­licity (n number of umpaired electron)
n+1(n number of umpaired electron)
Charge
+/-/0

Run gamess

he.inp
name of the input script
he.out
name of the output script
rungms
run gamess
Exemple :
rungms he>­he.out

Will run gamess with the script he.inp, and give you the output in the file he.out

Output file

How to see if my calcul­ation worked?
Look
density converged
in the output file
Where to see the final energy (HF) ?
Right after the message
density converged
the Hartree Fock energy calcul­ation is provided
FINAL RHF ENERGY IS=
Where to see the final energy (MP2/CCSD) ?
Look for a message
E(MP2/­CCSD)=
How to see the number of basis fonction?
Beginning of the output script there is a recap of the input script, and search for
Nb of cartesian basis fonction=
RHF final energy is always provided even if you don't do HF calcul­ation.
 

Input in $BASIS

STO-nG
GBASIS=STO
NGAUSS=n
n-21G
GBASIS=N21
NGAUSS=n
n-31G
GBASIS=N31
NGAUSS=n
n-311G
GBASIS­=N311
NGAUSS=n
cc-PVnZ
GBASIS=CCn
ISPHERE=1
in
$CONTROL
x shell polari­sation function
NxFUNC=number of set
x=p, d, f
Semi empirical methods
GBASIS­=MNDO
 
GBASIS=AM1
 
GBASIS=PM3
Exemple:
Calcul­ation with 6-31G* Basis set for He
GBASIS=N31 NGAUSS=6 NPFUNC=1

Calcul­ation with 6-31G** Basis set for He
GBASIS=N31 NGAUSS=6 NPFUNC=2

Use P because He is full on s, not on p

Input in $DATA

1. title/­details
2. symmetry point group, usualy C1
3. empty line, unless symmetry different than C1
4. Atomic coordi­nates

COORDS­=CART 

atome name / nuclear charge / X / Y / Z
H  1  0.0 0.0 0.0  

C  6  1.1 0.0 0.0  


COORDS=ZMT 

atom / I / distance / J / angle / K / torsion
H 1 1.1 2 125.0 3 180.0  


COORDS­=ZMTMPC 

atom / distance / 1 / angle / 1 / torsion / I / J / K
H 1.1 1 125.0 1 180.0 1 2 3 
For
COORDS=ZMT 
and
COORDS­=ZMTMPC 
, only put the required data !
Atom 1 : only name
Atome 2 : name + distance
Atome 3 : name + distance + angle
Atome 4 and + : all data
