For molecular modelers, getting up to speed with a new software platform can often be a time-consuming challenge. Navigating tools, understanding workflows, and learning how to perform specific tasks requires effort, which may take valuable time away from research or design work. If you’ve faced this pain point, SAMSON’s interactive tutorials offer an elegant solution to help you quickly learn how to perform various tasks directly within the platform.
These tutorials are integrated into SAMSON itself and can guide you step-by-step through practical tasks. Whether you’re a new user or just exploring a specific feature, SAMSON’s interactive tutorials ensure that you not only understand but also gain hands-on practice within the software environment.
How to Access the Tutorials
To begin using the tutorials, simply navigate to:
- Help > Tutorials within the SAMSON menu.
