GAUSSVIEW

     
 
     
Introduction
 

GaussView is a (G)raphical (U)ser (I)nterface that helps you prepare input for submission to Gaussian and permits you to graphically examine the output. GaussView provides three benefits:

  • Allows you to rapidly sketch in large molecules and then rotate, translate, and zoom in on the molecules using mouse operations
  • Makes it easy to set up many types of Gaussian calculations, and
  • Lets you examine the results of Gaussian calculations.
The software is installed on argo and runs there; you don't install it on your PC. For a general introduction to running interactive programs on argo, see the document here.
 
     
Setup
  GaussView, because it is a GUI, requires X-server software on the machine which you use to connect to argo (your desktop PC or laptop, as two examples).
  • If your desktop machine is Windows, then there are two X-server packages available:
    Which you use is entirely up to you. Click on the above package to get instructions on how to get the package, install it, and use it with GaussView.
