NAME
       obgen --	generate 3D coordinates	for a molecule

SYNOPSIS
       obgen [OPTIONS] filename

DESCRIPTION
       The  obgen  tool	 will  generate	3D coordinates for molecules in	a file
       (e.g. multi-molecule SMILES files). The resulting structure will	be op-
       timized using the given forcefield and checked  for  the	 lowest-energy
       conformer  using	a Monte	Carlo search.  Output will be sent to standard
       output in the SDF file format.

OPTIONS
       If no filename is given,	obgen will  give  all  options	including  the
       available forcefields.

       -ff forcefield
	     Select the	forcefield

EXAMPLES
       View the	possible options, including available forcefields:
	     obgen

       Generate	3D coordinates for the molecule(s) in file test.smi:
	     obgen test.smi

       Generate	 3D coordinates	for the	molecule(s) in file test.smi using the
       UFF forcefield:
	     obgen -ff UFF test.smi
