Calculation Summary

The Results=>Summary menu item displays summary data about the results of the Gaussian calculation (available when a Gaussian log file or checkpoint file is opened). It is displayed in the figure below.

Summary of a Gaussian Calculation
These windows summarize the results of a CAM-B3LYP/TZVP TD Opt Freq calculation in the solvent cyclohexane.

The window on the left displays the Overview tab of the job. It displays essential information about the calculation itself as well as the predicted total energy, dipole moment, point group, and, in the case of a frequency calculation, number of imaginary frequencies. The second tab, illustrated in the window on the right in the figure above, is the Thermo tab, which contains the thermochemistry values predicted by the calculation (if available). The contents of the third tab depend on the specific type of calculation that was run.


The Results=>View File menu item and the View File button on the GaussView toolbar and the File=>View using Text Editor dropdown on the Calculation Summary dialog can all be used to open the Gaussian log file associated with the Gaussian calculation (if available).


The Results=>Stream Output File menu item and the Stream Output button can both be used to view the Gaussian log file associated with the current Gaussian calculation continuously as the job runs.
