This command assesses the quality of the selected atoms in the model using the provided assessor object. Typically this is used for SOAP scoring, with assessor being soap_loop.Scorer() or soap_protein_od.Scorer().
Assessment uses the standard MODELLER energy function, so any of the arguments accepted by selection.energy() can also be used here. See selection.assess_dope() for more details on this and schedule_scale.
Any of the assessor objects accepted by this function can also be used for automatic assessment of each automodel or loopmodel model; see Section 2.2.3 or Section 2.3.3 for examples.

# best to create 'sp' just once and keep it around, since reading in the
# potential from disk can take a long time).

# Read a model previously generated by Modeller's automodel class
