See the following sites and papers:
https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_do_I_perform_energy_minimization_of_ligands_before_docking
See this site and look for energy minimization:
http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/static.do?p=software/software_links/modeling_and_simulation.html
You will find at least 2 tools: AMBER (http://ambermd.org/) and
CHARMM (https://www.charmm.org/charmm/?CFID=7f7f516a-0e08-49dd-9b69-53ca5a184421&CFTOKEN=0)
