Re: **** ERROR **** PCM SPHERE(S) MUST HAVE A POSITIVE RADIUS

Dear Users,
I have found the answer from this forum itself. There was NO vDW radius data added for an atom in the input. So I had to manually add it, using the command mentioned below:

$pcmrad RVDW(Atomic number)=vDW-radius $end

The problem is solved now.

Kind Regards,
