How To Perform a Calculation

As presently no gradients are available, only single–point calculations are possible:

  1. Select in define within the menu pnocc

    • the wavefunction model (submenu pnoccsd),

    • frozen core options (submenu freeze),

    • an auxiliary basis for $cbas (submenu cbas),

    • the amount of main memory (option memory),

  2. Do an SCF calculation using either the dscf or the ridft module.

  3. Invoke the pnoccsd program on the command line or with a batch script.

The minimal input for the $pnoccsd data group needed for a PNO-CCSD(T) calculation is just:

   $pnoccsd
      tolpno 1.d-7
      ccsd(t)

To active the direct mode, use the keyword
