Normally we look at the individual models. If you do want to average the
structures, I would recommend you at least relax the final structure.
One way to do that is to use AutoModel.cluster() as per
https://salilab.org/modeller/10.5/manual/node71.html
which does a basic conjugate gradients minimization.
