[answered] Output files very large

Post by raff » Mon Dec 19, 2011 4:03 pm

Hello
I would like to know if there are some option to do not store all the wavefunctions and densities in a BFGS minimization. I was trying with a ptr... variables, but I didn't get success. The problem is that I have many steps in the minimization and the output become very large, indeed 8Gb, ans the calculation stops
thanks in advance

prtwf 0
prtden 0
prteig 0

should be enough to turn off all such output.
