Avogadro is a free and open-source molecular editor and visualizer designed for computational chemistry, molecular modeling, bioinformatics, materials science, and related areas. It offers a user-friendly interface and a wide range of features for manipulating and analyzing molecular structures. One of the key features of Avogadro is its energy minimization capability, which allows users to optimize the geometry of molecules to find their lowest energy state. This can be useful for a variety of purposes, such as predicting the structure of molecules, understanding their reactivity, and designing new materials.
To use Avogadro’s energy minimization feature on a Mac, follow these steps:
