Nanotube Modeler1.6.4

Nanotube Modeler is an advanced software application designed specifically for helping you generate x,y, and z coordinates for nanotubes and nanocones, and analyze them using the integrated viewers or an external program of your choice.In addition, the tool is able to create buckyballs and graphene sheets using interactive graphs.

User interface

The GUI reveals the structure of the current object right in the main window. You can make use of mouse dragging actions in order to visualize the object from different angles.The tool lets you select the object type, namely nanotube, nanacone, graphene sheet, cone sheet, buckyball. Plus, you can access Fullerene library (CC1 or XYZ file format) or enable the virus geometry mode.

View options, tube distortions and atom coordinates

Nanotube Modeler gives you the possibility to hide or show the atoms and bonds from the working environment, adjust the size of atoms and bonds, rotate the object around the x, y or z axis, and choose between several stereo modes (parallel, crosseye or anaglyph).The application offers support for tube distortions and lets you preview the list with atom coordinates right in the primary panel. You may import the structure from Fullerene, XMOL, XY, or IMM PDB data, export the structure to MOL, XMOL, PDB, CIF, VRML, PDF, or MLM file format, and copy the image and XYZ table to the clipboard.Special viewers can be used for analyzing MOL, PDB, CIF, VRML, and POV structures, or you can configure user-defined ones. You may change the colors of the background, atom and bond.

Bottom line

All things considered, Nanotube Modeler integrates several powerful features for helping you generate coordinates for nanotubes or other objects.
