Parent Command

Subcommand

Description
This command defines an iteration for Simulated Annealing minimization based on the number of successful steps or total number of steps as defined by max_step. After each iteration is completed, the temperature is reduced according to the annealing schedule (see command >>>> SCHEDULE). An iteration is completed and the annealing temperature reduced if:
(1) the total number of successful and unsuccessful steps reaches max_step, or
(2) (0.2 * max_step) successful steps have been performed
