That's great, many thanks for the help. One other thing, I mentioned pybel because I haven't got the OBMol conversion from input smiles string to output file with 3D coordinates. Would you mind giving a quick example of this (or directing me to online documentation, I couldn't find much here)?
What I have been trying: mol = openbabel.OBMol() conversion = openbabel.OBConversion() conversion.SetInAndOutFormats('smi', 'com') conversion.ReadString(mol, 'cc') mol.AddHydrogens() #Next step is what I'm not sure of, how do I get the coordinates so that I can optimize and write to file?? cv.GetCoordinates() cv.WriteFile(mol, 'test.com') # But this just gives the coordinates as 0 With pybel I found the make3d() and localopt() functions very handy for this but can't get a similar setup going with openbabel. Apologies if this is a bit of a new thread.
