Welcome to the Wales group software wiki!

This wiki will contain the documentation for all the software we maintain in the group, along with worked examples and useful tips.

We're currently in the process of migrating from an old website so please bear with us while we hammer out the problems and set things up. --Csw34 22:57, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Software

All of out software is freely available open source under the GPL. However, there are cases when we interface to commercial codes such as AMBER and CHARMM. These files are absent from the source tarball. If you do have a license, please contact Professor Wales for access to a full version. We work on three separate

GMIN: A program for finding global minima and calculating thermodynamic properties from basin-sampling.

OPTIM: A program for optimizing geometries and calculating reaction pathways

PATHSAMPLE: A driver for OPTIM to create stationary point databases using discrete path sampling and perform kinetic analysis

Scripts

We have developed many scripts within the group to use in conjunction with our software.

Tutorials

Do we need a section for tutorials separately from the software pages? Maybe not...
