AutoOptimization of superheavy atoms causes a crash #738

Closed ghutchis closed 8 years ago

ghutchis commented 9 years ago

When working with at least 2 atoms*, one of which is a superheavy element, the program immediately crashes† upon attempting to start AutoOptimization‡.

*A window pops up immediately that says "avogadro.exe has stopped working." At first, there is a progress bar, but it is replaced with two buttons, labeled “Debug” and “Close program”.

† I crashed with all five of the following setups: two Rf atoms next to each other, HUus, H2 next to a single Uus atom, Uus2, and H2 next to a single Uuo atom.

‡ I have the default settings for AutoOptimization: UFF forcefield, 4 steps per update, Steepest Descent for the algorithm.
