Hi,
ORCA 5 has altered its input/output syntax, and pDynamo3 has not (yet) been updated to reflected that. If you want to use QCModelOrca (options, command = ...), then you will need to execute ORCA 4.
If you have to stick with ORCA 5, you will have to use QCModelORCA.WithOptions ( keywords = [ " UKS ", " BP86 ", " SV(P) ", " Def2/J ", " RI ", " SlowConv ", " PAL8 " ] ) with spaces between the keywords and the quotation marks, and you probably won't be able to use the ORCA input modifiers (%basis, etc).
Cheers,
Guilherme

Example of my code:
. Define Model

Thanks for the reply! Its good to know, but when testing with pDynamo 2 (1.9.0 - python2.7) and ORCA 5 all methods of setting up the QCModelORCA work. Perhaps its just something regarding Python 3?
