Specifies that the geometry is to be taken from the checkpoint file and that modifications will be made to it. A total of two input sections will be read: the first contains the charge and multiplicity, and the second contains alterations to the retrieved geometry.
Modification specifications for geometry optimizations using Z-matrix coordinates have the following form:
variable [new-value] [A|F|D]
where variable is the name of a variable in the molecule specification, new-value is an optional new value to be assigned to it, and the final item is a one-letter code indicating whether the variable is to be active (i.e., optimized) or frozen; the code letter D requests numerical differentiation be performed with respect to that variable and activates the variable automatically. If the code letter is omitted, then the variable’s status remains the same as it was in the original molecule specification.
