Preparing MOPAC input file


 

 

MOLDRAW is  able to export an input file (.mop extension)  for MOPAC program by the Export  label of the toolbar and then choosing MOPAC option.

 

We keep the numerous options of the MOPAC program at minimum (for the full list please visit the official MOPAC website).  The user can freerly provide any specific keyword.

 

MOLDRAW automatically recognize whether the structure is a molecule, a polymer, a slab or a crystal (from the values of the cell parameters) and writes the proper periodic boundary conditions (TV records) in the .mop file. The user can tick the flag to optimize the unit cell size.

 

In the following the form for the case of quartz crystal (SiO2) is shown:
