Crystal Studio Version
6.0 was released on January 7, 2004. New Features for Crystal
Studio Version 6.0 are:
 |
Take input or import reference information
for crystal structures.
|
|
Take input or import isotropic or anisotropic
thermal displacement parameters for atoms.
|
|
Draw thermal motion ellipsoids for selected
atoms.
|
|
Added Ellipsoid and Stick Model to draw the
crystal as thermal motion ellipsoids with bonds style.
|
|
Use the thermal displacement parameters in
electron and X-ray diffraction calculations if data
available instead of using the Debye-Waller factors
stored in the database.
|
|
Enhance import of CIF (Crystallographic Information
File) files to read more data including reference information
and thermal displacement parameters.
|
|
Import ICSD (Inorganic Crystal Structure Database)
data files.
|
|
Import mmCIF (Macro Molecule Crystallographic
Information File) files. Available for Pro. and Ent.
editions only.
|
|
Import PDB (Protein Data Bank) files. Available
for Pro. and Ent. editions only.
|
|
Export CIF (Crystallographic Information File)
files.
|
|
Export Atom Coordinates Files for simulation
or modelling program input.
|
|
Calculate maximum diameter of polyhedra cavities.
|
|
Two dimensional reciprocal lattice for surface
RHEED analysis. Available for Pro. and Ent. editions
only.
|
|
View composition, add up to 4 views (one main
and three sub views) from different files into a scene
(combo view) and manupilate them to form an ideal image.
Available for Ent. editions only.
|
|
Added a macro molecule view that combines
a tree view and a 3D view. The tree view contains the
primary and secondary structure items, the 3D view plots
the correspondent view in the 3D view. Available for
Pro. and Ent. editions only.
|
With version 6.0, common database format can all be
imported into Crystal Studio. for example, CRYSTMET, CSD etc. all have CIF outputs which can
be easily imported into Crystal Studio.
