It's not clear what sort of "output data" you want. The tutorials (see,
esp. B1) illustrate common ways to analyze data from simulations.

Minimization doesn't have a "timescale" in the way the molecular dynamics
does. It is a static sort of conformational analysis.

This is generally needed only if you are undertaking studies on non-standard
molecules, for which no charges are available already. I'd recommend getting
comfortable with standard simulations before trying more general things.
Then, see tutorial B4 for a road-map of one way to proceed.
