<div><br /></div><div>Hi I am running some energy+force calculation of a single benzene molecule using WB97X-D (benzene.inp). </div><div><br /></div><div>In order to test the equivariance of the force calculations I have rotated the molecule by 180 degrees around the vector [0.5,0.5,0.5] via the file rotation.ipynb. </div><div><br /></div><div>I then calculate the forces for both (forces_0, forces_180) and use the file equi_checker.ipynb to rotate the forces back to the original space and compare them. </div><div><br /></div><div>When I do this the forces do not appear equivariant at all, in fact the magnitude of the difference in forces is of the order of the forces themselves i.e. converting force to ev/A: <br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: Menlo, Monaco, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: pre; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">sum absolute difference 270 deg rotation: 1.651721858651293 eV/A
