While we are on the topic of model selection/optimization, I am having some trouble with relax 1.2's full_analysis.py script. I have optimized the local_tm run, and I ran the initial run on the oblate tensor (init). When I attempt to optimize the oblate run (round_1), I see the following error a:
relax> results.write(run='final', file='results', dir='oblate/round_1/ aic', force=1, format='columnar', compress_type=1)Opening the file 'oblate/round_1/aic/results.bz2' for writing.RelaxError: The sequence data for the run 'final' does not exist. Any ideas?
