 +  - Add the line ''PRINT_COORDS .FALSE.'' in the ''TMC'' section. It disables the output of the coordinate trajectory and thus avoids the files-size problem.
 +  - Add the line ''RND_DETERMINISTIC 42'' to the ''TMC'' section to choose a random number seed. You have to replace ''42'' with different values to obtain different samplings.

 In this exercise we will use Monte Carlo sampling to calculate the [[wp>Relative_permittivity|dielectric constant]] and the [[wp>Thermal_expansion#Coefficient_of_thermal_expansion| thermal expansion coefficient]] of the disordered hexagonal phase (Ih) of water ice. In order to speed up the calculation we are going to use the simple SPC/E water model. For more information see: [[doi>10.1063/1.1568337]]. A DFT-version of the calculation can be found here: [[doi>10.1021/jp4103355]]. In this exercise we will use Monte Carlo sampling to calculate the [[wp>Relative_permittivity|dielectric constant]] and the [[wp>Thermal_expansion#Coefficient_of_thermal_expansion| thermal expansion coefficient]] of the disordered hexagonal phase (Ih) of water ice.
