VESTA software download Visualisation for Electronic Structural Analysis in in Computational Chemistry and Quantum chemistry. VESTA is a 3D visualization program for structural models, volumetric data such as electron/nuclear densities, and crystal morphologies. Some of the novel features of VESTA are listed below.
Key features of VESTA software
- Deal with multiple structural models, volumetric data, and crystal morphologies in the same window.
- Support multiple tabs corresponding to files.
- Support multiple windows with more than two tabs in the same process.
- Deal with virtually unlimited number of objects such as atoms, bonds polyhedra, and polygons on isosurfaces (theoretical limit on 32bit operating system is 1,073,741,823)
- Support lattice transformation from conventional to non-conventional lattice by using matrix. The transformation matrix is also used to create superlattice and sublattice.
- Visualize interatomic distances and bond angles that are restrained in Rietveld analysis with RIETAN-FP.
- Transparent isosurfaces can be overlap with structural models.
- Isosurface can be colored on the basis of another physical quantity.
- Arithmetic operations among multiple volumetric data files.
- High quality smooth rendering of isosurfaces and sections.
- Export high-resolution graphic images exceeding Video card limitation.
- Visualization of crystal morphologies
- Superimposition of multiple structural models, volumetric data, and crystal faces on the same Graphic Area
- Visualization of isosurfaces with multiple levels
- An extended bond-search algorithm to allow more sophisticated search in complex molecules, cage-like structures, etc.
- Calculations of electron and nuclear densities from structure parameters
- Calculations of Patterson-function densities from structure parameters or volumetric data
- Integration of electron and nuclear densities by Voronoi tessellation
- Significant performance improvements in rendering of isosurfaces and calculation of slices
- Output information about principal axes and mean square displacements for anisotropic thermal motion
- Determination of the best plane for selected atoms
- Displaying labels of atoms
- Customization of styles per sites or bond types
- Customization of symmetry operations
- Improvements in inputting files with various formats
- Support of undo and redo in GUI operations
