[SOLVED] How to modify max iterations of CI in CASSCF calculations?

                                         RASSCF iterations: Energy and convergence statistics

I want to increase max iterations of CI at first CASSCF iteration. I've tried 'CIMX' in Manual 4.2.45.8.1, but it didn't change anything. By the way, the default value of CIMX is 100, according to manual, but it looks like to be 12 in my output.
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] How to modify max iterations of CI in CASSCF calculations?

The number of CI iterations in the first few SCF iterations is reduced, you shouldn't be worried about it. If it bothers you, you could try: TIGHT = 1.0e-4 1.0e-3 (these are default values, but by giving them explicitly I believe this reduction is disabled).

It works. Thank you.
