MarvinBeans package contains cxcalx command line program that performs chemical calculations using calculator plugins. The calculations can be performed in single or batch mode.



You can read its documentation here: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/help/applications/calc.html />The available calculations are listed in the following page: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/help/applications/cxcalc-calculations.html />and a simple example is given for every calculation: e.g.: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/help/applications/cxcalc-calculations.html#conformers />
For example, if you have an sdf file which contains thousands of molecules and want to calculate the conformers of them, you can run the following command on a command prompt.


C:\>cxcalc -o conformertest.sdf conformers inputmols.sdf


It will result in an output file , conformertest.sdf ,  which contains the conformers of your input molecules - stored in inputmols.sdf.


If you have any further question, please do not hesitate to contact us.
