Materials Explorer 4.0


Materials Explorer 4.00.006

  • Improved the output accuracy of Analysis calculation.

  • Fixed a bug that enthalpy values were output incorrectly in some cases.

  • Fixed a bug that atomic velocity values were incorrect when using Hernandez method other than in a time step of 1 [fs].

  • Fixed a bug that an overflow error sometimes occurred in calculation with the SW potential.

  • Fixed a bug that calculation with the Out-of-Plane potential was not done correctly in some cases.

  • Fixed a bug that the sim2sim converter could not handle infinite chains.

Materials Explorer 4.00.005

  • Some simple interfaces to Scigress Explorer (CAChe) are added. If Scigress Explorer (CAChe) is installed, you can perform the following from Materials Explorer:

    • Launch the program from the [Tools] menu.

    • Change the default data folder from [Tools]→[Options].

    • Change the background color by from [Tools]→[Options].

  • When saving benzene structure(s) as Chemical Sample File, the bond type “Aromatic” will be automatically converted to the combination of “Single” and “Double” bond types.

  • Amorphous Cell Builder provides an option to treat a polymer as United Atom Model.

  • Fixed a bug that a spreadsheet did not appear in some cases.

  • Fixed a bug that the manual setting of the plot area did not work properly in Internal Coordinate module.

  • Fixed some small problems with Molecule Preview.

  • Fixed some small problems in torsion calculation.
