Montecarlo

[Francesco]

Hi to all,

I would like to use the CP2K-Montecarlo module in order to do a
conformational analysis test, with DFT.

In order to understand what to do, I have started with ethane (and
other small molecules), but any attempt failed till now. I've used the
file in the regtest as a template, but in the best case I obtained the
error attached below.

After some tests, it seems to me that the Number of molecule types
vary as the number of atoms: I tried also to define a psf file, but
with other errors. By the way with "CONN_FILE_FORMAT OFF" should
overcome this request. Or am I wrong?

Has anybody of you done something similar?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Francesco
