CRYSTAL03 - Help needed



Hello,
 I've tested the monoclinic structure with your setting (and PW instead of B3LYP)
 and it did not work, too. However I made some changes and it started calculating
 ...
 I checked the geometry and it looks a little weird, I found bond distances of
 0.67 A, which is even for hydrides small. So I'd suggest have a close look what
 crystal is doing with your input. This can be (easily) achieved by giving
 COORPRT in the geometry section. Have a look at the modified input.
 Anyway it only started after modifying the k-points ( to 4 4 4 ).
 TOLINTEG is also worth a look, the settings I use are converged for my cases
 (less than 0.1 kJ difference in total energy to the better setting)
 The other input (ccl1.in) works just fine, but I've got a 64 bit filesystem. The
 integrals (channel 44) are growing beyond your limit (probably 2GB). Maybe it's
 a good idea to do direct scf in your case to avoid large files for the start. Or
 use a modern filesystem for larger files.
