Gamess Input Examples

The document provides examples of input files for calculations that can be run using the GAMESS program. It lists 47 example input files that cover a range of calculation types including geometry optimizations, frequency calculations, excited state optimizations, and more. The examples are meant to introduce basic program functionality to new users and also serve as a test to verify correct program installation. Larger calculations may not be detected by these small examples. Some examples listed will not run in parallel mode.

Input Examples 3-1

(6 May 2012)

******************************
* *
* Section 3 - Input Examples *
* *
******************************

The GAMESS distribution contains a number of short


input examples:
a) in a source code distribution, see
~/gamess/tests/standard/exam*.inp
b) in a binary distribution for Apple Macintosh, see
~/gamess/tests/standard/exam*.inp
c) in a binary distribution for Windows, see
C:\gamess.64\tests\exam*.inp (or C:\gamess.32)
Please see the summary table below to note what kinds of
calculations are included.

The primary usage of these input files is to introduce


the basic functionality of the program. Running all of
these, and noting where in the log file the key results
contained in comments in the input files appear should
introduce the basics to a new user. After that, explore
the more exotic keywords in the previous chapter, for the
number of examples in the test packet is deliberately kept
small, and each run is relatively simple.

Secondarily, running these tests serves as a simplistic


verification of the program's correct installation. In
source code distributions, only, there is a script to check
the numerical results, see
~/gamess/tests/standard/checktst
to automatically check all results. Binary distributions
can do this by hand, since the expected results are
contained in the input files. Note that to keep the tests
small, the memory and CPU time required is trivially small.
This means that problems that might occur in larger runs
won't be detected, and that these tests are entirely
inappropriate for parallel execution.

The examples are:
