## automodel.set_output_model_format() — set format for output models

`set_output_model_format(fmt)`

> This allows the format for output models to be set. Valid values are `PDB` or `MMCIF`. Normally output models are written in PDB format; however, mmCIF files support larger structures and have better support for metadata (such as information on the templates and alignment used in the modeling).

> The templates for modeling can be either mmCIF or PDB; they do not affect the output format.

> Note that the initial model and any loop models are written in the same format (and if an initial model is provided, it will be read in that format).
