[molpro-user] Nonconvergence with constraints

Hi,

my name is Dmitry and i am new user of Molpro. To make some big calculation I
tried to learn some general things with a small molecule (ethene). It converges
perfectly with different methods and basis sets untill I start to use
constraints (without last 3 lines I have no problems).

  !,gradient=1.d-5,
maxit=100;                
method=slc1

constraint,RCC,bond,atoms=[c1,h1]}



I get output (its too big to attach it, so I add only last part to the end of
this message) in which its tried to converges 50 or "maxit" times,
but results in "No convergence in max. number of iterations". Problem
seems to me to be in Gradient. I tried to change fixed distance, used other
bond, gave geometry in which distance already equal to number I want to fix,
used Z-matrix, tried other methods (mp2, df-lmp2) and basis sets (DZ, vDZ),
different "maxit". All what I get - Gradient come to different
numbers (it changes for first 3-10 steps and then stay on fixed number).

Unfortunately in my future work I should use partial optimization.

Thanks a lot for any suggestions
