Materials Studio Overview
Announcing Materials Studio 6.0
Learn new capabilities that enhance the ability of materials scientists to predict properties and perform virtual screening of candidate material variations.
Materials Studio is a complete modeling and simulation environment designed to allow researchers in materials science and chemistry to predict and understand the relationships of a material’s atomic and molecular structure with its properties and behavior. Using Materials Studio, researchers in many industries are engineering better performing materials of all types, including pharmaceuticals, catalysts, polymers and composites, metals and alloys, batteries and fuel cells, and more.
With Materials Studio you can:
Accelerate Innovation: Materials Studio enables materials scientists and research teams to develop new, better performing, and more cost effective materials faster and more efficiently than with test and experimentation alone.
Reduce Costs: Materials Studio customers have indicated a reduction of up to 10 times in the number of experiments required to introduce a new material.
Consolidate Software Purchases: Materials Studio’s comprehensive solution capabilities and ease of use minimizes total cost of ownership and improves collaboration between scientists.
Solve Your Most Difficult Problems: Accelrys’ staff of expert scientist assures timely support and expertise to help solve even the most challenging problems in materials science.
New Features introduced in Materials Studio 6.0 include:
- Faster and more accurate property prediction for metals, organics, rare earth and magnetic materials
- Introduction of DFTB+ module that combines the accuracy of quantum methods with the speed of atomistic methodologies to enable the study of larger, more realistic structures
- Wider range of properties prediction for salts, crystals, polymers, metal oxides, electronics, and semiconductor materials
- Improve graphics performance for better user experience
Materials Studio includes a graphical user environment—Materials Studio Visualizer— in which researchers can construct, manipulate and view models of molecules, crystalline materials, surfaces, polymers, and mesoscale structures. Materials Studio Visualizer is complemented by a complete set of solution methods including quantum, atomistic (or “classical”), mesoscale, and statistical that enable researchers to evaluate materials at various particle sizes and time scales. It also includes tools for evaluating crystal structure and crystal growth.
