obenergy(1) calculate the energy for a molecule

SYNOPSIS

[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"
