OverflowError: (34, 'Numerical result out of range')

This error occurred when I used DFT-1/2 to calculate the transmission spectrum. I don't know how to solve it. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you.

Please provide the script that gives the error, and preferably also the full log-file.

Thanks for your reply.  These are my files.

I think it is a memory issue. It is a quite large calculation to run on only 8 cores. To troubleshoot I suggest that you:

1. Try with regular PBE.
2. Construct a much smaller model system and try the same calculation.

Thanks for your reply. I will try the method you provide. Since the system needs to take into account weak intermolecular interactions and needs to use semiempirical functional, I used DFT-1/2.

[Ulrik G. Vej-Hansen]

GGA-1/2 uses about the same memory as regular GGA, so I don't think it is the cause of the issue, but it would be good to check it.

What do you exactly mean by "weak intermolecular interactions"?

Thank you very much for your reply. The weak intermolecular interactions refers to weak interaction between aromatic rings.Thanks .
