Restart device optimization with trajectory

[ems032]

I am trying to restart a device optimization and I have a trajectory file for the first attempt. I read a similar topic at http://quantumwise.com/forum/index.php?topic=3805.msg17364#msg17364 , so I see how to obtain the last configuration from the trajectory, but I am unsure exactly how to implement this last configuration into the script to restart the optimization.

Any help will be much appreciated

You simply replace the top part of the script that define the configuration with the two lines of code in the the post you refer to.

Code

# -------------------------------------------------------------
# Configuration from Trajectory
# -------------------------------------------------------------
trajectory = nlread('filename.nc', Trjaectory)[-1]
configuration = trajectory.lastImage()
# -------------------------------------------------------------
# Calculator
# -------------------------------------------------------------
.....
# -------------------------------------------------------------
# Optimize Geometry
# -------------------------------------------------------------
.....

Full example attached.

Thanks for your help, Jess!

There is an error in the code given above: It should be

Code

trajectory = nlread('filename.nc', Trajectory)[-1]

instead of

Code

trajectory = nlread('filename.nc', Trjaectory)[-1]
