Hi community members,
I have just ran my first few test calculations with DFTB+. I have found
a page for some test calculations,
https://dftbplus-recipes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basics/firstcalc.html#band-out.
From there I ran water molecule optimization. I ran that and found that
the Total energy is -4.0618820527 H. However, the HF or CCSD(T)
calculation shows the total energy to be ~-76 Hartree. I know that DFTB
can not give same energy with HF but this is a rather large deviation.
What is the problem or what am I missing here?

Thanking You,
