This tutorial will give you some basic skills of computer modeling using the computer program Spartan 5.0 on Silicon Graphic Computers.
Computer modeling provides two different kinds of tools for the chemist.
However, computer modeling is more than a visualization tool. In the energy minimization process, the computer calculates the energy of a molecule by taking into account the contributions from all bond lengths, bond angles, dihedral angles, and van der Waals interactions. Thus, although the calculations involved in molecular mechanics are quite simple, a geometry optimization procedure involves a large number of these calculations.
