Dear Bob, From: http://sourceforge.net/search/?ml_name=jmol-users&type_of_search=mlists&; group_id=23629&words=sculpt
Tim and Miguel had this to say back in March 2004: >>Tim, can you help explain it to me? >> > > I"ll try. :-) Sculpt was stand-alone energy minimization software that > MDL incoporated into Chime a while ago - but ONLY the Windows version of > Chime. > > Sculpt is able to perform overall energy calculations "on-the-fly". you > can pick up and move parts of a structure relative to other parts, > stretching and breaking bonds, changing rotations, etc. Sculpt > continuously calculates the energy in the current conformation and > provides visual feedback cues. for example, areas where Sculpt > calculates high energy (i.e., unfavorable interactions) are shown as red > shells. I believe Sculpt will also automatically break or form covalent > bonds depending on bond distances and atom properties. > > IIRC, Sculpt mode in Chime also allows for performing energy > minimization, too. in other words, drag parts of the structure to forkm > a new conformation, and Sculpt will "tweak" the structure to the lowest > possible overall energy state. OK, that sounds pretty cool ... but it also sounds somewhat complicated. > it is an intense and, as Ewen says, a wonderful teaching tool. Ewen ... this will not make it into Jmol within the next 6 months. Sorry. But I have filed a feature request so that it doesn"t get lost.
