Hi all, This is similar to a question/issue posted on https://github.com/openbabel/openbabel/issues/2274 which was left unanswered. I basically am conducting a conformer searching and then want to use the MM force field energy to rank the conformers, filter them out and take the best x (say 10). What i have done thus far is : #generate a number of conformers obabel A_conformer.sdf -O confs.sdf --confab --conf 100000 #Numerous ways to get output energy based on MM fields
1. obenergy -ff MMFF94s confs.sdf 2. obabel confs.sdf -otxt --energy --append "Energy" But none of this really saves the energy to (say be brought into avogadro to be ranked) I tried to use obabel Am_confs.sdf -osmi --filter "Energy < XXXX" to see if that will filter but I dont think it recognises Energy Im kind of struck on exactly how I can conduct the filtering process above and would appreciate if someone could guide me on where I'm making mistakes. I'm clearly misusing some of the functions and hope someone could help me out here. Appreciate any help on this matter. Best regards, Ingso
