Molecular graphics are of fundamental importance to computer aided materials design.
3D visual representation of structural data makes it much easier for chemists and materials scientists to understand the molecules and materials they are studying and to explain their research work. Such insight can prove invaluable in the research lab and classroom alike. MSI's software is widely used as a teaching aid, particularly in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The role of molecular graphics in computational materials science is often underestimated. The ability to interact visually with molecular models is often critical in enabling researchers to apply and interpret simulation methods.
