Mohan,
Indeed, these results look strange. Based on this information alone, it is impossible to know what the issue is. Double check the vdW terms (contained within the Additional Associated Parameter Files”), the optimized geometry that you’re inputing as “PDB File”, check that the hessian calculation terminated normally. You might also run the optimization with the “Write debugging log” turned on, and look through the output.
Regards,
Christopher Mayne
