Open Babel 3.1                                    Oct 10, 2019                                    obconformer(1)

       The  obconformer tool can be used as part of a conformational study by generating random conformers using
       a Monte Carlo search. The best conformer out of the batch of conformers will be output, after taking  the
       supplied number of geometry optimization steps. By default, obconformer uses the MMFF94 force field.

       Generate  the  best  conformer  (out  of 250) of baseconformer.sdf and write it to rotamer1.sdf after 100
       geometry optimization steps
