In casman, the built-in methods can be run by simply setting the value of CORRELATION accordingly:

CORRELATION

CORRELATION
       Sets the pre-defined method to use for casman.
TYPE:
       STRING
DEFAULT:
       None.
OPTIONS:
       SF-CAS CAS-SF with no perturbative corrections (or a custom method) SF-CAS(h,p) CAS-SF with perturbative corrections for hole (h) and particle (p) excitations SF-CAS(S) CAS-SF with perturbative corrections for single (h,p,hp) excitations SF-CAS(2x) CAS-SF with perturbative corrections for 2x (h,p,hp,hh,pp) excitations SF-CAS(3x) CAS-SF with perturbative corrections for 3x (h,p,hp,hh,pp,hhp,hpp) excitations SF-CAS(3x)+D CAS-SF with perturbative corrections for (h,p,hp,hh,pp,hhp,hpp) + MP2 RAS1->RAS3 double excitations
RECOMMENDATION:
       None.

If a custom excitation scheme is required, one can set CORRELATION = SF-CAS and set the following variables manually. (If you are using one of the built-in methods, setting these variables manually should be avoided, since they are automatically set up appropriately by Q-Chem if CORRELATION is not SF-CAS.)

RAS_N_SPIN_FLIP

RAS_N_SPIN_FLIP
