Hi David,
thanks so much for your quick reply.
Please find in attachment the molecule that caused the crash.
I’m a Phd student and I’ll have to do ‘systematic research of rotors’
even for much larger molecules.
Tanks again for your help

I’m doing the research of the conformers with Avogadro.
I made a ‘systematic research of rotors’ for a molecule of 36 atoms

But when I did the same operation for one molecule of 45 atoms and 11
rotatable bonds, I found the following error:

RUNTIME ERROR!
Program: C:\Programmi_1\Avogadro\bin\avogadro.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an

Please contact the application’s support team for more information.
Can you send a copy of the molecule that caused this crash? This will
be much easier to track down and fix if we can reproduce the problem.
Thanks,
Dave

Dear all,
Im doing the research of the conformers with Avogadro.
I made a systematic research of rotors for a molecule of 36 atoms
and 8 rotatable bonds. This one has been successful.
But when I did the same operation for one molecule of 45 atoms and 11
rotatable bonds, I found the following error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
RUNTIME ERROR!
Program: C:\Programmi_1\Avogadro\bin\avogadro.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the applications support team for more information.
I am running Avogadro 1.0.3 on a 64-bit Windows operating system
(Intel ® Core ™ i5 CPU M460@ 2.53 GHz 2.53 GHz; RAM: 6.00 GB).
If someone may help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your attention.
Best regards
Federica

I’m a Phd student and I’ll have to do ‘systematic research of rotors’ even for much larger molecules.
You may want to investigate the genetic-algorithm and Monte Carlo weighted search options in Open Babel (which are used by Avogadro). These can be accessed from the babel command-line and GUI.

Hope that helps,

I agree with Geoff – that molecule would generate quite a few
conformers, at least 10,000 (the GUI cuts off there – there are
probably many more potential conformers for this flexible of a
molecule). I started the search and within seconds the search had
consumed over 2GB of RAM to store the conformer data. This is probably
what caused your crash – if I had not stopped avogadro on my system,
I would have quickly run out of memory and crashed, too.
Unfortunately Avogadro doesn’t currently have any utilities to
generate this many conformers in a memory efficient way, which would
require writing to disk as more conformers generated. Your options
here are to use a different search algorithm (random/Monte Carlo or
GA) to try just sampling some of the conformational space, or try to
find a computer with an enormous RAM reserve.
If you really do need to generate all 10,000+ conformers, you’ll
probably need to use the commandline openbabel interface. The Avogadro
interface is only capable of generating 10,000 conformers. I doubt
that the raw babel CLI interface has such a restriction, but I’m not
100% sure on that.
Hope this helps,
Dave

Metadynamics and umbrella sampling might also be worth a look, especially since you’re moving to larger molecules. Maybe take a look at PLUMED 1 and the codes it integrates with.
