Hi Bruno,

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I cannot share my structure but
thanks for offering to look at it. After using the gasteiger charges, I got
the following error:
QMMM: ERROR!
QMMM: Unable to achieve self consistency to the tolerances specified
QMMM: No convergence in SCF after 1000 steps.

1. Is there a way to increase the number of steps to see if the antechamber
solution converges?
2. Could there be any reason, perhaps related to my geometry or charge
stabilization why I'm getting this convergence error?
