[CP2K:2520] Re: QM/MM input

[Laino Teodoro]

Hello Nagesh,

Not really, I just think that probably you should start with a less  
ambitious system.
Once you have a good control of the QM/MM module then you could start  
going to a much larger system.
In QM/MM you need to know not just QM/MM interaction pretty well.. an  
extreme knowledge of what is happening in QS and in FIST is mandatory.

A suggestion (just technical): avoid too long lines.. CP2K should be  
able to read up to 512 characters in a line.. for example the  
MM_INDEX keyword is repeatable.. you can split those long line on  
more lines..

I don't know if your input file makes sense or not (to give a judge  
like this one should spend a couple of hours looking exactly what you  
are doing: and this is definitely beyond what people may expect from  
a mailing list) but I can tell you that is perfectly running and  
producing numbers.

Good Luck,
Teo
