How could I get spin-densities from CASSCF?
Dear users,
I did CASSCF calculation and also generated .grid file with &GRID_IT.
The spin density of uhf or dft could be obtained as [molcas gv -a -1.0 a.grid b.grid c.grid] but I guess casscf needs other way to gain it.
The $Project.SpdOrb.1 was also generated but I don't know how to use it with GV. (http://molcas.org/documentation/manual/node34.html)
Thank you in advance.

You can use the SpdOrb file as input for GRID_IT ("File" keyword). But since CASSCF still uses the same orbitals for alpha and beta, you'll only see anything interesting if your calculation is not a singlet...

Thank you for the fast reply! I could successfully generate spin-density. Fortunately mine is doublet case.
