MATVIS allows the representation of several crystal structures of metals and ceramics. It can be used for educational purposes, showing students what basic crystal structures look like, representing real-life crystal structures, and testing with structures that do not exist in nature.
Main features:
- Over 100 structures have been included from over 50 different space groups. These can also be used as a template for defining compounds with the same structure but different elements.
- A material designer has been included. This allows you to create any structure you want, based on the coordinates of the atoms in the structure. Atoms can be added and removed from the structure, as well as bonds between atoms. Complex shapes can also be added, such as boxes, cylinders/cones, and discs. Strutures can be saved to a file for future use.
- Several rendering options have been expanded, including coloring, transparency, lighting positions, etc.
- Each atom type can be picked from a Periodic Table. Information about the atoms of a structure, other compounds with the same structure, the space group and Pearson's symbol for each structure has been included.
