Error for Gaussian16 .log files and GaussView5

https://joaquinbarroso.com/2018/01/29/chk-files-gaussview/

Dear Silvia,

The solution is provided in the link given by you, however, I am not able to follow how to do this? Can you please help me with the same.

have to add the given file. But how and where one should add not getting.

#!/bin/bash

file=`echo $1 | sed 's,.log,,g' | sed 's,.com,,g' | sed 's,.arch,,g' | sed 's,.xyz,,g' `

echo gv5_$file.log $file.arch; cat $file.log | sed '/Dipole orientation/,$d' > gv5_$file.log; csplit -q $file.log %GINC% {1}; mv xx00 $file.arch; cat $file.arch >> gv5_$file.log

I have tried running the script provided by Silvia and did not succeed either. A simple fix for this problem though is to go to your .log file and manually delete all lines in the Dipole orientation section. File opened for me no problem after that.

I also encountered the same problem as original poster.

As for me, the problem happened when I tried to open freq output file from Gaussian 16 using GaussView 5. This problem was acknowledged by the technical support of Gaussian and they have provided a solution for it.

If you are a Windows user, you may need to install programs such as Cygwin or Gnuwin to execute the line command given. I used puTTY and managed to open the file even though there's a warning pop-up (unable to orient dipole derivatives).

Another option is to do the solution as answered by Liudmila Strelnikova.

I did try, at first, using method suggested by Silvia Angelova although it took me half day to figure it out, with no success.

Hope this helps.
