ring_conf Command Help

Command: $SCHRODINGER/utilities/ring_conf

Current invocation
ring_conf -h 
 Syntax: ring_conf [-c conf_method] [-l lin_method] [-n num_conf] [-N]
     [-retain_amide_conf] -t [-verb #] [-tmpl_gen] -v 
           input_file.mae output_file.mae
 Options:
     -c conf_method:
        1: produce conformations in order of increasing
           energy. (default)
        2: always provide the lowest energy conformation.
        3: select conformations at random.
        4: provide conformations with a probability
           proportional to their Boltzman weight.
        5: systematically provide ring conformations.
     -e value
        The maximum energy (in kJ/mol) relative to the lowest.
        energy conformer for output conformers.
        (default: 50.0 kJ/mol)
        This option sets num_conf to 8 unless the -n option
        is used to specify another value.
     -f fallback for fused_rings (default: 0) 
        0: do not use the fallback mechanism if fused_rings are not found.
        1: use the fallback mechanism if template is not found
           for atleast one ring_system.
        2: use the fallback mechanism if template is not found
           for all ring_systems.
     -h print this message.
     -l lin_method:
        non-flexible ring generation method to use.
        1: use input geometry.
        2: generate everything (can lead to distorted rigid rings).
        3: generate only linear parts of the molecule.
           and use original geometry for the rigid rings.
     -n num_conf: produce up to this many conformations for each
        input conformation. (default = 1)
     -N Produce exactly num_conf (see -n) conformers.
     -retain_amide_conf - Retain amide conformation.
     -t value
        The temperature to use in Boltzman weighting.
     -tmpl_gen 
        Generate missing templates for 6-8 membered rings.
     -R Report on ring template matching.
     -v Print the version number.

     -verb # controls MMERR level of reporting. 
        0: MMERR_FATAL   - only report errors
        1: MMERR_WARNING - only report errors and warnings
        2: MMERR_INFO    - report errors, warnings, and processing
                           information.
        3: MMERR_DEBUG   - report errors, warnings, processing 
                           information, and debugging information
