Integral calculations are then performed by the subprogram "SEWARD". The output also includes details on the point group symmetry of the system (here only C1), and important program statistics such as the disk space used for the integrals. The example chosen here includes 82 basis functions listed as "NUMBER OF CONTRACTIONS".

After converging the SCF calculation, the next call goes to the coupled cluster program. The correlation energy calculations will by default be performed excluding the core electrons. The lowest four occupied MOs closely correspond to the 1s atomic orbitals of the four non-hydrogen atoms in the systems, representing the excluded core orbitals. The remaining 12 alpha and 11 beta electrons can be sorted into 11 "closed-shell orbitals" and one "active orbital". The remaining 66 empty (virtual) orbitals are listed here as "external orbitals". The "Reference energy" given in the RESULTS section corresponds to the Hartree-Fock energy (here: -227.183664603044 au), and the full CCSD(T) energy appears at the end of the RESULTS section as " !RHF-UCCSD(T) STATE 1.1 ENERGY" (here: -227.823127746564 au).
