3D Vision

Molecular modelling is at the core
of computational chemistry, and an understanding of chemical reactions
and properties often depends on viewing the molecular structure in three
dimensions. Strange, then, that Chem3D isn’t better known, because
it really does deliver workstation quality molecular modelling to an ordinary
Windows PC.
You can produce stunning 3D visualisations with
Chem3D, so you can examine molecular structures in depth, from any angle.
There’s built-in support for defining such physical parameters as boiling
point, melting point and many other properties; and you can look at time-dependent
properties too (molecular dynamics).
You can use Excel to access and display
calculations performed in Chem3D - there’s an add-in for handling
descriptive statistics and structure-activity relationship plots within
Excel.
If you want a true 3D modelling experience, Chem3D supports a range
of stereo monitors, shutterglasses and other hardware – but if your
lab can’t run to those, you’ll find 3D glasses in the Chem3D
box which provide enhanced stereo-mode with depth shadings to give realistic
three-dimensional quality to all Chem3D renderings. |
