Fragment Library Generation is achieved through flex docking. During flex docking, DOCK6 cleaves the molecule along rotatable bonds and stores each of the fragments as a sidechain (one attachment point), linker (two attachment points), or a scaffold (three or more attachment points). Using this fragment library DOCK6 reassembles the molecule based on the produced torsion environment. In the process of cleaving the rotatable bonds, DOCK6 also creates a torsion table that holds all atom connectivity information. No bonds not found in the torsion tables will be formed in reassembling the molecule. The torsion table is also used for increasing chemical feasiblity of de novo design molecules.

An example of an input file to generate a fragment library calling DOCK6:
