Class ModelBuilder3D

java.lang.Object

org.openscience.cdk.modeling.builder3d.ModelBuilder3D

public class ModelBuilder3D
extends Object

The main class to generate the 3D coordinates of a molecule ModelBuilder3D. Its use looks like:

  ModelBuilder3D mb3d = ModelBuilder3D.getInstance();
  IMolecule molecule = mb3d.generate3DCoordinates(molecule, false);
  

Standing problems:

• condensed ring systems which are unknown for the template class
• vdWaals clashes
• stereochemistry
• chains running through ring systems

generate3DCoordinates

public IMolecule generate3DCoordinates(IMolecule molecule,
                              boolean clone)
                                throws CDKException,
                                       NoSuchAtomTypeException,
                                       CloneNotSupportedException,
                                       IOException

Generate 3D coordinates with force field information.

Throws:

CDKException

NoSuchAtomTypeException

CloneNotSupportedException

IOException

getTemplateCount

public int getTemplateCount()

Returns the number of loaded templates. Note that it may return 0 because templates are lazy loaded, that is upon the first ring being layed out.

Returns:

0, if not templates are loaded
