Jos,

If you want to do a proper constrained optimisation in Gaussian you
are much better off using a Z-matrix and Opt=Z-Mat then setting the
required dihedrals as constants. As far as I understand it the
constraints withing the delocalised internal coordinates can only be
applied in a approximate way due to the converstion between cartesian
and the redundant internal coordinate sets.

Subject: optimization in the excited state
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello!

Could anybody help me with the following problem, please?

I need to optimize the geometry of a molecule in the excited singlet
state and to calculate its vibrational spectrum in this state.

I know how to do it in Gaussian at CIS level. But i'd like to do it by
Time dependent DFT because I did all others calculations by DFT.

The second question I'm interested in is: is it possible to use the
geometry which is connected with some vibrational mode. I mean: when
the vibrational spectrum is calculated one can "animate" vibrations
for example in HyperChem to visualize them. I'd like to use this
geometry distorted by vibration.

Thank you in advance,
Merry Christmas,

Igor Avilov.

John,
     I've always been partial to flow and floppy, two programs from CERN
(oddly enough, written IN Fortran) that can be used to clean up dusty
decks and do analysis of the code structure.  FTNCHEK is another tool you
might want to look at. It doesn't clean code in and of itself, IIRC, but
it does a static analysis of the code and reports semantic errors and
violations of good code practices.  I've used these programs together to
clean up old code myself (including MOPAC and AMPAC).

Hope this helps,
		Andy

Dear all:

When I use NAMD to run the equilibration of a small system. it keep saying: 
"Warning: Not all atoms have unique coordinates."
and
"Warning: xxx margin violations detected during timestep xxx."
but I checked the coordinates file and everything looks fine. could anybody tell me what is wrong?

Moleman will move the center of gravity to the origin,
perform rotations (and translations) specified in a number
of different ways, and write out the coordinates in pdb
(or other) formats.

If you need to also put an atom on the X axis, or a pair of
atoms parallel to X to define a standard position before
starting the rotations, you may need to do some programming
to save the origin-shifted file, grep out the atoms involved,
and do some algebra to determine the required rotation.
But if you can just use the original orientation, centered,
as your starting position then moleman will do everything.
The manual is at:
http://xray.bmc.uu.se/usf/moleman_man.html
Look at the commands  ORIGin_move and  ROTAte_molecule

Posibilities are a full rotation matrix, eulerian angles, or an axis and the
rotation about it.
I can't put my hands on a good reference for the conventions now-
maybe a crystallography testbook.
You can also use LSQman to calculate an operator to take
certain atoms to the position of certain other atoms
by rotation/translation.

Accelrys Inc. has joined with the organizers of the NanoTech 2003 
conference
and Prof Nick Quirke from Imperial College London to offer a one-day 
workshop in
"Molecular Modeling of Nanomaterials" on February 28th in San Francisco, 
CA.

The aim of this workshop is to introduce participants to current modeling 
methods and 
their use in predicting the properties of nanomaterials, The workshop will 
be based on
the Materials Studio modeling environment, and consider methods reaching 
> from quantum
mechanics, via classical atomistic to mesoscale. Following an introductory 
lecture
by Prof. Nick Quirke, participants will carry out tutorials on dedicated 
PCs.

The workshop will cover the following:
- Introduction to Modeling of Nanomaterials.
- Introduction to the Materials Studio modeling environment.
- Nanotech modeling tutorials using quantum mechanics, classical, and 
mesoscale methods.

Costs are $200 for commercial, $150 for government and $100 for academic.
