What you write above shows that you do not know what a geometry 
optimization means. Did you ever go through the TiO2 example in the UG?

There are thousands of wien users. All of them are confronted with 
similar problems as you describe when they start learning. Most of them 
switch on their brain (quoting Gerhard Fecher) to solve it, and they 
succeed. (The proof: if they wouldn't, the volume of this mailing list 
would by 10-50 times larger.) Why don't you do it the same way?
