<div>I am running solvation energy computations for isolated molecules, and finding that my choices of Alpha and Beta do not affect the output energy. </div><div><br />While the solvation energies match well to PCM without tuning these parameters, the lack of any effect worries me. </div><div><br /></div><div>The full input file is shown below, but there are a few points where I'm concerned:</div><div>- Do I need to change the defaults for RHO_MAX or RHO_MIN?</div><div>- Does SCCS work fully with non-periodic boundary conditions? </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Logan</div><div><br /></div><div>!!!
