 Dear Amber users, I am trying to calculate RESP charges with antechamber from GAMESS-US output. I see that I need a PUNCH file but I have never seen one and have idea what it should look like. The subject seems to be poorly documented. antechamber -i test.dat -fi gamess -o resp.mol2 -fo mol2 -c resp -eq 2 How can I generate a PUNCH file? What should it look like? Can someone please share one with me? This is my input to get Mulliken charges from GAMESS. Can someone suggest how I need to edit this to get a PUNCH file? Does the extension matter to antechamber - .log or .dat? # GAMESS INPUT FILE
