The sample files provided in the "published" directory are meant to enable the published data reproduction. Those files come from earlier accuracy checks and retain the pristine way of doing FMO at the time of publication. In most cases, the recommended way of doing actual applications DIFFERS from that accuracy check set of input options. The files you should look at to learn how to do FMO applications are in the same directory where this README file resides. ---------------------- The sample files provided in the current directory show the recommended way of using FMO for production runs. All rely on a capped glycine trimer. See FMO-RHF.inp for a detailed explanation. ---------------------- The following sample files are provided in the published directory: I. RHF sample run water-16.fmo2-rhf.inp run gly-4.inp II. DFT sample run water-16.fmo2-dft.inp III. MP2 sample run water-16.fmo2-mp2.inp IV. CC sample run water-16.fmo2-cc.inp V. MCSCF sample 1. Prepare initial orbitals by running RHF: run 4pheA.rhf, save 4pheA.rhf.F40. 2. Convert RHF orbitals from RHF to MCSCF format: precopy 4pheA.rhf.F40 to the job scratch directory renaming as 4pheA.conv.F40 (e.g., "cp 4pheA.rhf.F40 /work/$user/4pheA.conv.F40"), run 4pheA.conv, save 4pheA.rhf.F30 and copy it to the jobs scratch directory as 4pheA.mcscf.1lay.F40 and pheA.mcscf.2lay.F40. 3. Run one and two layer MCSCF. (4pheA.mcscf.1lay.F40 and pheA.mcscf.2lay.F40 should be precopied to the job scratch directory in step 2), run 4pheA.mcscf.1lay.inp run 4pheA.mcscf.2lay.inp VI. PIEDA Ax example of a quick (PL state) PIEDA is provided. PIEDA.inp It does not require any preceeding run. Detailed instructions on PIEDA calculations are given in: published/PIEDA . VII. TDDFT samples run FMO1-RHF_TDDFT.inp run FMO2-TDDFT.inp
