<p>
<b>obminimize</b> -- optimize the geometry, minimize the energy for a molecule

<p>
<b>obminimize</b> [<i>OPTIONS</i>] <i>filename</i>

<p>
<h2><a name='sect2' href='#toc2'><b>Description</b></a></h2>

<p>
The obminimize tool can be used to minimize the energy for molecules
inside (multi-)molecule files (e.g., MOL2, etc.)

<p>
<h2><a name='sect3' href='#toc3'><b>Options</b></a></h2>

<p>
If no filename is given, obminimize will give all options including the
available forcefields.

<p>
<dl>

<dt><b>-n</b> <i>steps</i></dt></dt>
<dd>
Specify the maximum number of steps (default=2500)

<p></dd>

<dt><b>-cg</b> </dt></dt>
<dd>Use conjugate gradients algorithm (default)

<p></dd>

<dt><b>-sd</b> </dt></dt>
<dd>Use steepest descent algorithm

<p></dd>

<dt><b>-c</b> <i>criteria</i></dt></dt>
<dd>
Set convergence criteria (default=1e-6)

<p></dd>

<dt><b>-ff</b> <i>forcefield</i></dt></dt>
<dd>
Select the forcefield

<p></dd>
