Molecular modelers often face a common challenge: how to efficiently export their structures and visualizations while ensuring compatibility with various tools and formats. Whether you need to share your data with collaborators, transition between simulation software, or archive your work, having flexible options for exporting files is essential. This is where SAMSON’s Exporters feature becomes highly valuable.
What Are Exporters in SAMSON?
Exporters in SAMSON are specialized tools designed to save content from your SAMSON documents to a variety of file formats, such as PDB or XYZ. By default, SAMSON includes a set of Exporters that allow you to save both molecular structures and visualizations. This built-in versatility ensures that you can work seamlessly across different stages of molecular modeling and with different software ecosystems. If additional formats are needed, you can extend these functionalities by accessing more Exporters from SAMSON Connect.
Supported Formats
One of the key concerns for modelers is ensuring that their work can be integrated into diverse workflows. SAMSON supports a wide range of file formats to cater to your specific needs. For a detailed list of all supported formats, refer to the supported formats documentation. This makes the exporting process not only versatile but also reliable, allowing you to focus on your science without worrying about compatibility issues.
Need a Custom Exporter?
Despite the comprehensive default options, certain specialized workflows or emerging needs may require additional file formats. If you feel that a particular exporter is missing, SAMSON enables you to address this gap in two ways:
- Contact the SAMSON team directly at contact@samson-connect.net to request the addition of a specific exporter.
- Develop your own exporter with SAMSON’s extension development tools. The platform offers dedicated resources, such as the SAMSON Extension Generator and the Documentation Center, enabling users with programming knowledge to create tailored solutions for their workflows.
Getting Started
Using SAMSON’s Exporters is simple and intuitive. Save your time and efforts while ensuring your data is prepared exactly how you need it.
