ViewMol3D is designed as a 3D OpenGL viewer for molecular structures from the output of quantum chemistry calculations.

ViewMol3D uses Windows implementation of workstation-class OpenGL (OpenGL is a trademark of Silicon Graphics, Inc.) 3D graphical system to render molecules as wire frame, sticks, ball-and-sticks and CPK models. The ViewMol3D can draw molecules models from output of several quantum chemistry programs.

Here are some key features of "ViewMol3D":

· Showing the geometry of a molecule
· Tracing a geometry optimization or a MD trajectory
· Showing normal vibrations of a molecule as arrows
· Showing forces acting on each atom in a selected configuration
· Saving all generated pictures as BMP/PNG file.
