ORCA 6.0 TUTORIALS#
Here you will find tutorials on how to perform calculations using ORCA. These are aimed for new users and people who want to get introduced into basic molecular modeling.
For more detailed documentation, please refer to the ORCA manual. We also recommend to join the ORCA forum, where you can get some help regarding individual and known issues.
These tutorials are divided in four main topics:
