Oscail - Windows Software

Oscail - Windows Software
for Crystallography and Molecular Modelling

This software is FREE to ACADEMIC users. Commercial users must obtain permission for its use.
Oscail tutorials covering Molecular Modelling and Crystallography are available.
This Windows software provides an integrated high quality system for building and modelling molecules (Mopac and Iconc are included) and the system drives Firefly (formerly PC GAMESS) and Tinker.
The crystallographic software can solve, refine and examine small molecule crystal structures.
The pictures produced range from high quality HPGL to photo realistic rendered 3D.
Rendered movies are effective and easy to make using RASMOV. Software for Powder pattern simulation and the detection and display of voids is also available.
The programs are fast, have been compiled using an optimising compiler and are available in 32 and 64 bit versions. Oscail uses SHELX and Superflip and recent versions using vectorisation are up to 3 times faster than earlier versions (notice the jump in the plot)..
SHELX programs should only be used by approved SHELX users. SHELX information is available from http://shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de/SHELX/
