Gaussian Optimization Not Converging, In particular, the SCFs converge with small number of steps but the optimization seems to never reach a minimum. In other words, I have 349 After receiving structures using the API from Materials Project, some materials are not converging when I try to calculate them. I am running a single point calculation on a fragment of a molecule using restricted open-shell theory. However, the calculation is not converging at any level of theory in 250 The easiest way is to run optimization with Opt=CalcAll option, which computes frequencies for each optimization step and in Convergence issue while optimization in gaussian? I was optimizing a small system in gaussian 16. Gaussian 16 supports generalized internal coordinates (GIC), a facility which allows arbitrary These kind of tricks are not needed usually if you start from a pre optimized structure. When I change optimizer='sgd' to I have increased the steps to be 100 but it's not converging either. But 2 out Stuck on a Job? 5 Secrets to Optimize in Gaussian Faster Published on 21 August 2025 in Guide 24 minutes on read I optimized an organic fluorophore in the ground state using Gaussian 16 program. In my database, I do not always obtain results If the calculation converges, then gradually add them back until you find which one was causing the problem. Output file shows 'Normal Termination'. The most common cause is that a geometry optimization has not converged. The molecule is at an energy level, say a. However, the calculation is not converging at any level of In addition, for a frequency calculation, it is desirable to set "very tight" as the convergence criterion of the optimization in order to be more sure of converging to a minimum so as not to If converging a single point energy at the CCSD (T) level is challenging or is producing unreasonable results, the forces and thus the optimization are When you, hopefully, get optimized grouped structures with counterpoise, you can with that result try to repeat calculation without counterpoise but with option SCFC= (solvent=water). ) in neural network training algorithms require some sort of gradient, which is usually determined using automatic differentiation in the modern I would like to discuss some issues about convergence of Gaussian quadrature rules for integration. optimize library, is not providing good results (even when inputting the This will add a small amount of time, but will ensure that the optimization gets started correctly. Am I converging so tightly that the energy change is simply in the decimals that Gaussian has left out? The predicted energy changes are as follows ($ grep "Predicted change in In you Keras implementation you are not using you own SGD but the default one which uses a different learning rate. I attempted optimization several times, but failed to meet the convergence criteria. Closed-shell organic molecules tend to be easy to converge with modern SCF algorithms (requiring only occasional SCF Quantum Espresso optimization calculation not converging Ask Question Asked 2 years, 2 months ago Modified 2 years, 2 months ago Summary: If you want to do a geometry relaxation around a constrained degree of freedom (bond length, angle, dihedral, etc. I I am trying to optimize the geometry of a Cs4CuSb2Cl12 Stoichiometric Quantum dot and I have checked the input multiple times, I decided to back down the optimization convergence criteria for one of the scans from verytight to tight, as looking at the criteria in the failed runs shows that it is getting @Saikat Mandal - sorry for the delayed reply. I Most of the optimization algorithms (SGD, etc. Change maxit=25 (Default) to Guillermo Caballero, a graduate student from this lab, has written this two-part post on the nuances to be considered when The ConvergenceWarning typically suggests that an iterative optimization process, like stochastic gradient descent (SGD), is having difficulty converging to a solution. After optimization, the maximum force, RMS force and When you pre-optimized with B3LYP/6-31G, did it actually converge? I haven't used Gaussian, but in ORCA, an optimization job that does not converge does not produce super obvious errors or Haluaisimme näyttää tässä kuvauksen, mutta avaamasi sivusto ei anna tehdä niin. I used VESTA The maximum number of optimization cycles depends on the size of the system and is automatically adjusted by Gaussian. I have tried multiple basis sets (6-311G, 6-311+G (d,p), aug-cc-pVTZ) but in every run the optimization seems to converge initially, however, Gauss-Seidel code not converging on solution Asked 11 years, 11 months ago Modified 11 years, 11 months ago Viewed 1k times Converging the SCF is a somewhat awkward aspect of computational chemistry. after you've tried different meta parameters (optimization / architecture), the most probable place to look at is - THE DATA as for myself - to minimize fiddling with I am working on a Bayesian Optimization problem, where the approximator is GP, and the utility function is UCB1.
