Dear all, 
I am trying to optimize the D2O in NWChem and here I had attached input file. It requires huge time for calculation. Is there and specifc keywords I am missing here?
I have to fix O atoms only here....

Is your aim to run a periodic or a molecular calculation?

My aim was to conduct Periodic Calculation and then find Electric Field Gradient tensor values (Specially of H1). However the calculation terminated in mid way.

if that is the case, please refer to the options listed for the Plane-Wave module at
The "basis" and "property" input option of your input are only for the gaussian basis molecular module.
The geometry input section is not correct, since the x, y, z coordinate should be fractional coordinates as discussed in

Thank you! I used fractional coordinate for optimization and it is running now. I have one question regarding electric field gradient tensor calculation. In Gaussian basis module, It is easy to calculate EFG value using property in input section. However, I am unable to find the module to calculate EFG value in plane wave module...
