Hi Partha,
The idea of BSSE calculations is that you eliminate the effect the mathematical
representation of your problem has on your answers. Given that with localized
basis sets the mathematical representation depends on where your atoms are. In
order to eliminate that fact you would do the following (I am giving the example
for a dimer because that is simple, if you are looking at something else that
you need help with, please tell me what it is).
Step 1: Do the calculation for the dimer with atoms A and B as you usually would
Step 2: Take the input from step 1 and replace atom A with a Bq center but place
the same basis set at the Bq center that atom A would have had and do the
calculation
Step 3: Take the input from step 1 and replace atom B with a Bq center but place
the same basis set at the Bq center that atom B would have had and do the
calculation
Step 4: Take the result from step 1 and subtract the results from step 2 and 3
to get the BSSE free bond energy.
If you want to know how to set up the calculations for step 2 and 3, please have
a look at the QA test cases in NWChem. In particular the test case dft_bsse
(look for the dft_bsse.nw file) should give you a good idea of how to do this.
Best wishes,
Huub

Can anyone tell me how to do bsse calculation in M06 level using NWCHem
software? Kindly tell how to put an input.http://www.ccl.net/cgi-bin/ccl/send_ccl_messagehttp-:-//www.ccl.net/chemistry/sub_unsub.shtmlhttp-:-//www.ccl.net/spammers.txt
