NAME
       obconformer — generate conformer coordinates


SYNOPSIS
       obconformer #-of-conformers #-of-optimization-steps filename [forcefield]


DESCRIPTION
       The  obconformer tool can be used as part of a conformational study by generating random conformers using
       a Monte Carlo search. The best conformer out of the batch of conformers will be output, after taking  the
       supplied number of geometry optimization steps. By default, obconformer uses the MMFF94 force field.


EXAMPLES
             obconformer 250 100 baseconformer.sdf > rotamer1.sdf

       Generate  the  best  conformer  (out  of 250) of baseconformer.sdf and write it to rotamer1.sdf after 100
       geometry optimization steps
