I’ve delayed the initial release to implement some additional features that were requested. The 3d preview in each panel is now detachable for viewing in a full size window and the text editor does not have to be closed in order to run a job on windows. some new screenshots showing the detachable preview.

jGamess is a suite of tools for working with the general atomic and molecular Electronic Structure System the freeware computational chemistry program written and maintained by the Gordon research group at the University of Iowa.

The suite will include the following utilities:

-Gamess Console: a gui for running gamess jobs

-File converter: Converts common chemical file formats eg. .mol, .pdb, etc into gamess data groups. If the file contains explicit bond information the converter can find the point group and align the structure according to the rules given in the gamess input manual.

-Output view: Renders data from gamess output files. This includes molecular orbitals, isosurfaces for electron density, electrostatic potential maps, etc.

-Qsar tool: Simplifies extracting quantum qsar descriptors such as HOMO-LUMO gap or electron density critical points from gamess output files.

 A beta version of the console should be released in the next two weeks.

Stay tuned
