Working with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) often requires precise 3D modeling tools, and for many molecular designers, building such models from scratch can be time-consuming and unintuitive. Especially when testing different chiralities or designing multi-walled CNTs, it’s important to go from…

When creating molecular animations, timing plays a crucial role in maintaining audience engagement and clearly communicating what matters. Fast transitions between frames can confuse viewers or cause them to miss critical details. What if you need your audience to absorb…

Setting up a production molecular dynamics (MD) simulation often begins with a series of tiny decisions that can greatly affect both results and simulation stability. For many molecular modelers, selecting the correct input files and simulation parameters becomes a repetitive…

Creating clear, consistent visuals of molecular systems can be a tedious task, whether for scientific communication, teaching, or just keeping track of complex simulations. The common workaround involves repeatedly adjusting representations, color schemes, visibility settings, zoom levels, and more —…

If you’ve ever struggled to communicate molecular processes clearly in your presentations or publications, you’re not alone. A recurring challenge for molecular modelers is making animations that convey structural changes or molecular assemblies in a smooth and visually intuitive way.…

One of the most frequent needs in molecular modeling is geometry optimization—adjusting atomic coordinates in order to find a stable molecular structure. But if you’re used to traditional static methods, you might find the interactive approach in SAMSON both efficient…

If you’ve ever tried generating coarse-grained (CG) molecular models from multi-chain or multi-replica systems, you may have run into a frustrating issue: topology generation fails due to conflicting residue or chain IDs. This is a surprisingly common problem, and unfortunately,…
