Building and Manipulating Molecular Structures
- Select step(s) to open from multi-job Gaussian input files.
- New advanced open dialog, allowing options to be modified and retained across sessions: whether to load intermediate geometries, weak bond inclusion, PDB file processing options, and similar settings.
- New brush selection mode to accurately choose atoms within dense regions.
- Open PDB files created by Amber.
- Reduce symmetry of a molecule to a specified point group (using the same feature as for increasing and constraining symmetry).
- Specify custom bonding parameters.
Gaussian Job Setup & Execution
- Support for new features in Gaussian 16 and updates to existing job setup options.
- Create and/or initiate identical calculations for a series of molecules in a single step.
- Create new Gaussian input files which use the molecule specification and other data from a checkpoint file.
- Support for a wide range of Link 0 commands.
- Expanded access to population analysis options.
- Preview the input file as it is created.
- The SC Job Manager provides a straightforward, customizable queueing system for the local computer.
Additional Modeling Capabilities
- Perform conformational searches using the GMMX add-on package. GaussView allows you to:
- Specify the force field, energy range and other parameters for the search.
- Open some or all of the identified conformations into a molecule group.
- View an energy plot for the set of conformations.
- Set up follow-up calculations for desired conformations in a single step.
- Optional full AMPAC interface integration.
Examine & Visualize Results
- Select step(s) to open from multi-calculation Gaussian results files.
- Visualize predicted bond lengths and bond orders.
- Results from anharmonic frequency calculations can be plotted alone or in combination with the harmonic results.
- Include multiple calculation results in the same plot. Spectra from multiple conformations can be Boltzmann-averaged.
- Customize plots: specify line colors and widths, canvas and background colors, label and title fonts, X- and Y-axis settings, and so on.
- Display the solvation cavity surface for an SCRF calculation.
- Plot the results of Optical Rotary Dispersion (ORD) calculations.
- Scale frequencies by a specified value for plotting.
- Support for Gaussian trajectory calculations.
- Image capture enhancements: background color, save images of multiple molecules in a single operation.
- Image capture and printing defaults.
- Enhanced movie creation: support for MPEG4 files; set options for frame looping and time delays.
File Conversion & Customization
- Convert files between different formats; AMPAC input files, Gaussian input files, MDL Mol and SDF files, GMMX input files and Sybyl Mol2 files.
- Set defaults for image capture, movie generation and custom bonding parameters.
- Context-specific help system.
