It fails to load molden file

Hi,

I want to calculate partial charges of atoms in a large molecule. I obtain the molden file from orca_2mkl (version 4.0.1) and try to run in the HPC platform. It crashes at loading the molden file at the step of generating density matrix... I have tried tests on small molecules (i.e. CO and PhOH), and they have been done successfully without any problem (AIM and ADCH). I hope I can have some suggestions from you about this issue.

Kind regards,

wenjian

Re: It fails to load molden file

Dear wenjian,

If you are using Linux version of Multiwfn, please make sure that you have configured your system according to Section 2.1.2 of manual, otherwise due to limitation of memory that can be utilized, Multiwfn may crash during loading large file.

If you are using Windows version while you also encounter the problem you mentioned, please change to ORCA 4.1.2 and check if the problem could be avoided. If Multiwfn still doesn't work, please compress the molden file and send it to my mail box, which can be found at the first page of manual.

Best regards,

Tian

Re: It fails to load molden file

Dear Tian,

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I′m a CentOS Linux user and I have added stacksize line to the .bashrc file and applied ORCA 4.1.2 to have a try. It shows the same issue that the job crashes at the step of generating density matrix. But it works for a small molecule of PhOH. I send the molden file to your email. Thanks a lot for help.

Best regards,
Wenjian
