[molpro-user] PES calculation with AM1 couplings - record error

Dear Fabian,

in your attached input, you try to model the 2D terms of the potential 
by the reparametrized AM1 method. As you can see in the manual, this 
option is not allowed. Modeling within the PES generation is only 
possible for 3D and 4D terms. Besides this your input is missing an 
"abinitio" card just below the "label1" card. See the example in section 
52.9 of the manual.

Best wishes,

    Guntram
