[molpro-user] Check if bands are infrared active

Dear Molpro user,

I am doing some harmonic frequency calculations on CH3OOH. Apology for my
following basic question. Does anyone know how to check if the calculated
vibrational band is infrared active?

Best wishes,
Gang

Yanbin,

This job should not require anywhere near that amount of memory. What 
happens if you run the example without the 'memory' directive you added? 
Please find attached the output of this job on our machines, which took 
under 1 minute with 8 processes.

How many cores are there on the node where you ran the 8 processes? 
There should be no MPI communication issues since the job was run on 
only 1 node. Perhaps there are problems with the disk I/O, are any of 
the disks (/scratch and /u) lustre/NFS mounted?

I also notice this is PL1, I suggest to install PL23 to get the latest 
updates and bug fixes.

Best wishes,

Andy

Hello,

I've used molpro's DMA to determine the total quadrupole for a hydrogen
molecule. This is simple since dma gives the total multipoles at the origin.

Now, I'd like to introduce a second hydrogen molecule, and determine the
induced dipole and quadrupole on the 1st hydrogen molecule. Is there any way
to do this? I've tried using the "ADD" command, but I get an error.
