************************************************************* ArgusLab Molecular Modeling Program version 3.0 beta release is now available (version 2.0 is still freely distributed from our website) ************************************************************* Featuring extensive support for rendering surfaces. Featuring an incredible 3D interactive molecule builder Build and optimize structures for the entire periodic table. Featuring computational methods for spectroscopy, geometry optimizations, energies, and properties Please visit http://www.planaria-software.com to download a copy. See some screenshots at http://www.planaria-software.com/gallery.htm (If you like the program, please tell a friend) New Features in 3.0 -------------------- Support for surfaces: simple, difference, mapped, and mapped difference Easy-to-use Surface construction and editing tool Render surfaces in opaque, translucent, mesh, and dot Generate grid files for surfaces: orbitals, electron density,electrostatic potential, and spin density. Import Gaussian cube files for surfaces. Read molecule structure from Gaussian .log files Clipping plane for surfaces. Automatic assignment of atomic hybridization. Automatic assignment of force field atom type. Automatic ring finder and aromatic ring display. Improved interface to the SCRF solvent model. Printing. Charge equilibration charges for the UFF force field. Extensive support of Undo/Redo for all user-input to the graphics window. Space filling rendermode added. Apply rendermode options to subsets of atoms and bonds. Apply automatic hybrid, ffatom type, and ring finding to subsets of atoms Apply geometry optimization updates to subsets of atoms.
