Making molecules refractive

To make molecules refractive when you use Cycles in SAMSON, increase the transmission coefficient. You can also directly use Appearance presets to quickly change multiple coefficients at the same time. Check the YouTube short at https://youtube.com/shorts/VAh9N03G8q4.

Accessing the data graph in Python

To efficiently manipulate nodes (atoms, bonds, side chains, molecules, etc.), use node indexers returned by the SAMSON.getNodes function applied to a Node Specification Language (NSL) expression. For example, SAMSON.getNodes(‘node.type atom’) returns an indexer containing all atoms in the active document.…

Creating a nanopore

To build a carbon nanopore, draw a graphene sheet and a nanotube, remove some atoms and use the Brenner reactive force field during interactive minimization to meld them. The Brenner potential (Brenner et al., Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, Volume…

Create molecules using Python

To create molecules, Python bindings give you access to all modeling capabilities from SAMSON’s C++ core. Add atoms, bonds, molecules, crystals, automatically find covalent bonds, add hydrogens, etc., and minimize. All in a few lines. Use the Code Editor to…
