Repeating a Gaussian<br />

Job<br />

After you perform a Gaussian calculation, you can<br />

repeat the job as follows:<br />

[name of computation].<br />

The appropriate dialog box appears.<br />

2. Change parameters if desired and click Run.<br />

The computation proceeds.<br />

Running a Gaussian<br />

Job<br />

<strong>Chem3D</strong> enables you to select a previously created<br />

Gaussian job description file (.jdf). The .jdf file can<br />

be thought of as a set of Settings that apply to a<br />

particular dialog box.<br />

You can create a .jdf file from the dialog box of any<br />

of the Gaussian calculations (Minimize Energy,<br />

Optimize to Transition State) by clicking Save As<br />

after all Settings for the calculation have been set.<br />

For more information about .jdf files see “Job<br />

Description File Formats” on page 126.<br />

To run a Gaussian job:<br />

1. From the Gaussian submenu, choose Run<br />

Gaussian Job.<br />

The Open dialog box appears.<br />

2. Select the file to run.<br />

The dialog box corresponding to the type of<br />

job (Minimize Energy, Compute Properties,<br />

and so on.) saved within the file appears.<br />

3. Click Run.<br />
