Creating a GaussianInput FileA Gaussian Input file contains the coordinates andgeometry of the model and the Gaussian keywordstaken from the settings of the dialog box.To create a Gaussian Input file:1. From the Gaussian menu, choose Create InputFile.The Create Input File dialog box appears.2. Click Create.An input file saves in Gaussian’s native .GJFformat.NOTE: The .GJF Gaussian Input File is not thesame as the .GJC Gaussian Input File. The .GJC filestores only the model coordinates and not theGaussian keywords specifying computationalparameters.Running a GaussianInput FileIf you have a previously created .GJF Gaussianinput file, you can run the file from within Chem3D.To run a Gaussian input file:1. From the Gaussian menu, choose Run InputFile.The Run Gaussian Input file dialog boxappears.Chem3D 8 Chapter 12: Gaussian Computations • 181Creating a Gaussian Input File
