Keywords for general information

IPRT

Print level, >1 gives more information, >2 give more information about integral evaluations.

NPRT

CHCK

Check the interface with several external packages.

CTHRD

== Keyworks for processing excited-state information ===

METHOD

=1, ground state gradients; =2, excited-state calculations which will load TD-DFT output.

NFILES

Linked with istore value in TD-DFT input for loading output.

Keyword for geometric derivatives

GEOM: NORDER

GEOM enables geometric derivatives, NORDER=1, gradient and fo-NACMEs; =2, hessian (not implemented yet.)

Keywords for linear response calculations

LINE

Enable linear response

To use finite-difference, a script fdiff.py should be used as

./fbdiff.py run.sh input.inp > log

After the calculation is done, an output file input.out will present in the current directory. The log file saves the information during the calculations.

Note: If FDIF is omitted, the analytic calculation will be carried out by simply using the run.sh script.
