`bench.xyz/1707_0569xWATER.xyz` can not be optimized with GFN-FF

Open foxtran opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug Running of GFN-FF optimization of bench.xyz/1707_0569xWATER.xyz fails with:

 * calculating model hessian...
Using GFN-FF Lindh-Hessian
 * fragmented diagonalization... 2 fragments
 Shifting diagonal of input Hessian by    2.0062370709201787E-002
 Lowest  eigenvalues of input Hessian

At the same time, geometry optimization with GFN2 starts:

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. See #1258
  2. GFN-FF: ../xtb --gfnff bench.xyz/1707_0569xWATER.xyz --opt --cycles 30 -P 1
  3. GFN-2: ../xtb --gfn 2 bench.xyz/1707_0569xWATER.xyz --opt --cycles 30 -P 1

Expected behaviour

Start geometry optimization with GFN-FF
