Dear Bob, I have been able to use jmol-14.3.13_2015.04.07 to view MOs in molden format; they were obtained from different calculations using up to g basis functions. Jmol does run nicely and fast :-)
I also give a try to MOs for which spherical h basis functions are being used. The number of MOs is correctly detected. Unfortunately, the MOs are not rendered in this case. I added a [11H] line to the molden file. This line is read and the orbital types is reported as not being supported, as expected: Unsupported orbital type ignored: [9G] Unsupported orbital type ignored: [11H] 539 molecular orbitals in model 1.1 But the presence of this line does not change the behavior of jmol. I went into the sources ..../jsmol/j2s/J/adapter/readers/quantumMoldenReader.js to try to understand how this works. But, I'm really lost here. I guess the job is done with the "readMolecularOrbitals" method (line 196), but I cannot figure out how you implement skipping the unsupported basis functions. In case you have time for investigating this, I've made an archive "viz.tar.gz" containing the molden files. It is available for download at http://www.filedropper.com/viztar It contains - viz/molden.inp_ORIG - viz/molden.inp which only differs by the presence of the [11H] line in the latter. Thanks a lot for your help. All the best, Max On 08. 04. 15 01:25, Latévi Max LAWSON DAKU wrote: > Thanks a lot, Bob!
