obenergy(1) User's Reference Manual obenergy(1)NAMEobenergy — calculate the energy for a molecule
SYNOPSISobenergy [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
