First-order nonadiabatic couplings
The calculations of first-order nonadiabatic couplings (NAC) between ground and excited-states (<0|Dx|Sn>), and those between the excited-states (<Sm|Dx|Sn> or <Tm|Dx|Tn>) at the TD-DFT/TDA level can be achieved by generalizing the standard linear and quadratic response theories, for details, see
Zhendong Li and Wenjian Liu, "First-order nonadiabatic coupling matrix elements between excited states: A Lagrangian formulation at the CIS, RPA, TD-HF, and TD-DFT levels", J. Chem. Phys. 141, 014110 (2014).
For convenience, however, in the input they are both specified by the QUAD keyword with single and double, respectively. Either analytic derivative or finite difference approach can be used. The latter is only allowed for C(1) symmetry, and for molecules without orbital degeneracy!
Compared with Hellman-Feynman results
By using the turn over rule, the NAC between two adiabatic states can be written as a integration of the gradients of V_nuc and the transition density scaled by the energy difference. We may call it Hellman-Feynman like expression.
However, for real application, either the state is exact nor the basis is complete, so this form will not yield accurate results !!! As an illustration we consider the NAC between two triplet states of MgH2 calculated at the pp-TDA level using several different basis sets.

Finite difference approach
To use the finite difference approach, nosym must be used to avoid the rotation of molecules. Currently, only C(1) group is permitted. For the example considered above, it turns out that the first two 1A2 excited states are the 1st and 4th excited states. However, if only use iexit=4 with iterative diagonalization, the initialization based on orbital energy difference (IPA) will miss the 2rd excited states, as its IPA is very large, viz.,

The corresponding input for the finite difference approach is to add two keywords: FDIF for specification and step followed by a real number for step size in finite difference. If the unit is bohr in the COMPASS part, the 'BOHR' should be added in the RESP part also.

To use finite-difference, a script fdiff.py along with fdmol.py in bdf-pkg/source/tools/fdiff should be used as
./fbdiff.py run.sh xxx.inp > log
After the calculation is done, an output file xxx.out will present in the current directory. The log file saves the information during the calculations.
Illustration
Visualisation of the results can be achieved via the tools in bdf-pkg/source/tools/fdiff/NACplot.nb.
