Dear Fengxue Li,
Deriving charges for a large molecule likely means you do not control
the conformation of this molecule. As conformation strongly affects
charge values I like to control the conformation(s) involved in charge
derivation; i.e. deriving charges for a large molecule is
'arguable'... Thus, I would like to suggest you to split your large
molecule - 130 atoms is a looooot ;-) into elementary building blocks,
and consequently to use R.E.D. Server.
See for instance: http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/REDDB/projects/F-90/
A side effect for large molecules is that the program executed cannot
handle the input molecule. A problem we have encountered in the
development of R.E.D. Python is how building an algo. for calculating
chemical equivalencing of charge values for large molecules (that
cannot be split into building blocks because of electron
delocalization) and/or molecules with multiple cycles. A consequence
here is that the amount of required memory can drastically increased,
and it looks like this is what appends in your case; I guess you could
modify in the Antechamber source code the amount of memory, but the
code will crash again for sure for a slightly more complex problem;
this is a ever ending problem...
My conclusion: Just learn the building block approach, and use R.E.D.
Server; then send a request to the private assistance service to ask
for post-precessing your data with our new R.E.D. Python code (until
it is available) so that you end up with a project with atom types &
frcmod files...
