Software update: Nano-Hive 1.1.0

Nano-Hive is a modular simulator for modeling a physical world at the nanometer level. The program can be used stand-alone, but can also be integrated into other applications, such as CAD applications. If you have become curious what you can do with this, among other things, you can go to this page see some examples. The developers recently released version 1.1.0 with the following 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!

• 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.

Also included in this release is an alpha version of the HiveKeeper Graphical User Interface for Nano-Hive (hivekeeper/† The capabilities of the alpha version includes visualization of the molecular structures even while the simulation is running.
