Dear Albert
You can use MDGX for conformational sampling and writing ORCA input files
and parameter fitting, if that is what you're looking for. (See also the
MDGX tutorial)
Otherwise, like I did, you can perform your own QM calculations with ORCA
(for example an ASE-ORCA combination to calculate a minimal energy path)
and use the command line to write the xyz output files to readable
coordinate files and use those coordinates and the corresponding QM energy
for Paramfit.
Normally for QM/MM there should already be support for ORCA. (I've seen
other users use it.)
Hope this helps and kind regards
Charles-Alexandre Mattelaer
