AMPAC™ Academic Site Licenses
"The undergraduate students in my group who have utilized the AMPAC GUI have been universally pleased. They have found it to be easy to learn (without even knowing that a manual exists!) and critical for evaluating the results of their computations."from a review in JACS, 2002 (122) 12411
During the past five years, there have been over 150 articles published in the Journal of Chemical Education related to computational chemistry. Contributors write that molecular modeling has become a standard part of their undergraduate curriculums and that computational chemistry is an essential tool for today's chemists. Semichem, Inc. has provided high-level software solutions for over a decade, currently maintaining active university licenses in over 30 countries.
Benefits
Semichem's academic site licenses are specially designed to address the needs of both
research and teaching faculty at universities. These licenses are provided on an annual, renewable basis and
include priority technical support and free updates. Some of the major advantages include
the ability to outfit all research and teaching labs with no head-counting and a
significant cost advantage over our competitors, priced at $3,300 for all
types of systems that Semichem supports
and $2,500 for a desktop-only site license. In addition, current users
consistently say that AMPAC's Graphical User Interface (AGUI) is both easy
to learn and very intuitive for beginners, with advanced tools offering
students an opportunity to experience chemistry in three dimensions.
Features
More than a simple teaching tool, AMPAC includes a feature rich, intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that can be
used to build, edit and save molecules. These graphical options offer users a 3D visualization of structures
and results that can be manipulated with point and click ease, making it an accessible tool for students
and researchers at all levels. Furthermore, any faculty member who gives talks or publishes can take
advantage of the high quality output of 3-dimensional graphics provided by AMPAC's GUI. The output is available in a
number of common formats to fit web, presentation, and hardcopy applications, making publishing faster and
easier.
