Nano-Hive is een modulaire simulator voor het modeleren van een fysieke wereld op nanometer niveau. Het programma kan stand-alone worden gebruikt maar is daarnaast ook te integreren in andere applicaties, zoals CAD-applicaties. Als je nieuwsgierig bent geworden wat je hier onder andere mee kan maken kan je op deze pagina een aantal voorbeelden bekijken. De ontwikkelaars hebben onlangs versie 1.1.0 de deur uit gedaan met de volgende release notes:
Hello!
We're happy to announce that Nano-Hive version 1.1.0 for win32-x86 is now available for download. *nix distros will be made available in the coming weeks.
This release adds support for running multiple, multi-threaded simulations simultaneously, each able to access multiple Physical Interaction plugins.
We've also added new plugins!Also included in this release is an alpha version of the HiveKeeper Graphical User Interface for Nano-Hive (http://www.nano-hive.org/hivekeeper/). The capabilities of the alpha version includes visualization of the molecular structures even while the simulation is running.
- MPQC_SClib - This plugin encapsulates the functionality of the Scientific Computing Toolkit (SC) used by the Massively Parallel Quantum Chemistry Program (MPQC).
- OpenBabelImportExport - This Data Import/Export plugin adds the ability to read and write many new file types by encapsulating the OpenBabel library.
- SocketsControl - Control Nano-Hive via a TCP socket with this Simulation Control plugin.
- BondCalculator - This Physical Interaction plugin discovers molecules in the simulation space and specifies bonds to describe them.
- BasicCellTraverser - This Entity Traversal plugin divides the simulation space up into sub-cells for multi-threaded calculation.
