daltonproject.dalton.compute(molecule: Molecule, basis: Basis, qc_method: QCMethod, properties: Property, environment: Environment | None = None, compute_settings: ComputeSettings | None = None, filename: str | None = None, force_recompute: bool = False) → OutputParser

Run a calculation using the Dalton program.

Parameters

molecule – Molecule on which a calculations is performed. This can also be an atom, a fragment, or any collection of atoms.
basis – Basis set to use in the calculation.
qc_method – Quantum chemistry method, e.g., HF, DFT, or CC, and associated settings.
properties – Properties of molecule to be calculated, geometry optimization, excitation energies, etc.
environment – Environment description missing
compute_settings – Settings for the calculation, e.g., number of MPI processes and OpenMP threads, work and scratch directory, etc.
filename – Optional user-specified filename that will be used for input and output files. If not specified a name will be generated as a hash of the input.
force_recompute – Recompute even if the output files already exist.

Returns

OutputParser instance that contains the filename of the output produced in the calculation and can be used to extract results from the output.
