Obenergy
Name
obenergy -- calculate the energy for a molecule
Synopsis
obenergy [OPTIONS] filename
Description
The obenergy tool can be used to calculate the energy for molecules inside (multi-)molecule files (e.g., MOL2, etc.)
Options
If no filename is given, obenergy will give all options including the available forcefields.
- -v
- Verbose: print out all individual energy interactions
- -ff forcefield
- Select the forcefield
Examples
View the possible options, including available forcefields:
obenergy
Calculate the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2:
obenergy test.mol2
Calculate the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2 using the Ghemical forcefield:
obenergy -ff Ghemical test.mol2
Calculate the energy for the molecule(s) in file test.mol2 and print out all individual energy interactions:
obenergy -v test.mol2
