Debugging TS failures via file type generated #318

Open eneas77 opened 10 months ago

eneas77 commented 10 months ago

Hi,

I think it would help A LOT to have in the documentation a description of the files generated in the course of a TS calculation, i.e. an expected programme of the files generated. For instance, something like:

1) conformers 1a) xtb inputs > xtb. outputs > xtb.out xtb.xyz 1b) nwchem ... 2) reactants_and_products ... 3) transition_states ...

The purpose is to know when exactly a TS is halted, what is done and what follows. Sometimes hl options (like drive options in NWChem) can be tricky and the origin of the issue.

Thank you
