Potential Energy Scans with NWChem

While performing PES on dihedrals of relatively large molecules using NWchem, one can get stuck during the minimization process. Possible ways to overcome those problems are:
1. Try a smaller step size
2. Use the "tight" function in the driver
3. Redo everything with a smaller molecule that can mimic the dihedral in question
