CASPT2 Energy

Dear Users,

I have been trying to compute CASPT2 in Openmolcas. Though the calculation converges properly, but it only prints the energy correction term (I guess) as CASPT2 energies. The input is as follows:

 &GATEWAY
coord=$CurrDir/free-base.xyz;
basis= ANO-RCC-VDZ;
group=nosymm
ricd;
&SEWARD
>>COPY $CurrDir/cas-2-2_T.JobIph10221 JOBIPH
&CASPT2
IPEA
0.25
SHIFT
0.25
Frozen
68
multistate=1 1
maxiter=2000
>>COPY $Project.JobMix $CurrDir/$Project.JobMix30868

-------------------------------------------------------
The CASSCF is precomputed and the energy is "RASSCF root number  1 Total energy:   -945.51807688"
The obtained CASPT2 energy :

CASPT2 Root  1     Total energy:     -0.19845216

I used the same input with MOLCAS@UU where it prints CASPT2 energy = RASSCF energy + Energy correction term

So, is there any keyword that I am missing with Openmolcas?

Your comments will be highly appreciated.

Sincerely
Sabyasachi

Re: CASPT2 Energy

I can't reproduce it. What does it print as "Reference energy"? Are you using the same JOBIPH file with both OpenMolcas and Molcas@UU? JOBIPH files are as a rule not portable between versions or machines, try re-creating the JOBIPH with OpenMolcas.

Re: CASPT2 Energy

Dear Ignacio,

Thank you so much for responding.
The reference energy appears 0.00 with Openmolcas, which is supposed to print the CASSCF energy. The JOBIPH files are not common. They are separately created.

Re: CASPT2 Energy

Then the problem might be in the CASSCF calculation.

Re: CASPT2 Energy

Hi Ignacio,

Even if I do CASSCF and CASPT2 in single input file, the problem still persists.
The input is:
---------

&GATEWAY
coord=$CurrDir/free-base.xyz;
basis= ANO-RCC-VDZ;
group=nosymm
ricd;
&SEWARD
&RASSCF
FILEorb=$CurrDir/cas-2-2.RasOrb;
TYPEIndex
spin=3; charge=0; nactel=2 0 0; ras2=2; ciroot=1 1 1;
lumorb
&CASPT2
IPEA
0.25
SHIFT
0.25
Frozen
68
multistate=1 1
maxiter=2000
>>COPY $Project.JobMix $CurrDir/$Project.JobMix30868

--------
The CASSCF part converges properly as seen from the log file

If it gives the same problem, it might be an issue with your compilation, libraries or hardware, as it works for me. If it's fine for you, try to figure out which of the differences causes the problem, and provide a full runnable example with no reference to external files.
