NAME
obminimize -- optimize the geometry, minimize the energy for a molecule
SYNOPSIS
obminimize [OPTIONS] filename
DESCRIPTION
The obminimize tool can be used to minimize the energy for molecules inside (multi-)molecule files (e.g., MOL2, etc.)
OPTIONS
If no filename is given, obminimize will give all options including the available forcefields. -n steps Specify the maximum number of steps (default=2500) -cg Use conjugate gradients algorithm (default) -sd Use steepest descent algorithm -c criteria Set convergence criteria (default=1e-6) -ff forcefield Select the forcefield
EXAMPLES
View the possible options, including available forcefields: obminimize Minimize the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2: obminimize test.mol2 Minimize the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2 using the Ghemical forcefield: obminimize -ff Ghemical test.mol2 Minimize the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2 by taking at most 300 geometry optimization steps obminimize -n 300 test.mol2 Minimize the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2 using the steepest descent algorithm and convergence criteria 1e-5: obminimize -sd -c 1e-5 test.mol2
