[molpro-user] Convergence not reached for a CCSD iteration in CCSD(T) optimization

Dear MolPro users


I encountered a problem in the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ optimization [but CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ optimization can be achieved].
In one of the CCSD step, the "VAR (P)" can not be lowered below 1.0D-12 even I increase the maximum number of CCSD iterations to 300.

?CONVERGENCE NOT REACHED AFTER MAX. ITERATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the possible way to solve this problem is to promote the convergence of the "VAR (P)" item using certain keyword(s) or to reduce the criterion a little bit (for example to 1.0D-11), but I can not find the related keyword(s) in the manual. Maybe I did not catch what the manual says.


Can anyone tell me how to sovle this problem?


Thank you in advance!


Best,
