An efficient algorithm based on a purely geometric approach that generates feasible configurations very efficiently is presented thus making full conformational analysis possible even for fairly large cyclic structures.
Abstract
Conformational analysis is the problem of finding all minimal energy three-dimensional configurations of molecules. Cyclic structures are of particular interest. An efficient algorithm based on a purely geometric approach that generates feasible configurations very efficiently is presented thus making full conformational analysis possible even for fairly large cyclic structures.

The multiple minimum problem in molecular modeling. Tree searching internal coordinate conformational space

TL;DR: In this article, a general algorithm is described which exhaustively searches conformational space using an internal coordinate tree search using only geometrical operations and a set of criteria for eliminating chemically unreasonable structures, the algorithm generates starting geometries for optimization by molecular mechanics.
