structgen

Performs 3D structure generation for a set of input molecules.

structgen is similar to confgen but has been designed for use-cases where a single reasonable low-energy 3D struture of a molecule is sufficient (which can be generated much faster than a diverse conformer ensemble).

Structure generation method to use (AUTO, DG, FRAGMENT, default: AUTO).

-A [ –tol-range-sampling ] [=arg(=1)]

Additionally generate conformers for angles at the boundaries of the first torsion angle tolerance range (only effective for fragment-based structure generation, default: true).

-I [ –input-format ] arg

-O [ –output-format ] arg

Allows to explicitly specify the output format by providing one of the supported file-extensions (without leading dot!) as argument. This option is useful when the format cannot be auto-detected from the actual extension of the file (because missing, misleading or not supported). Note that only storage formats make sense that allow to store atom 3D-coordinates!

-F [ –failed-format ] arg

Allows to explicitly specify the output format by providing one of the supported file-extensions (without leading dot!) as argument. This option is useful when the format cannot be auto-detected from the actual extension of the file (because missing, misleading or not supported).
