General guidelines for posting components or protocols that can run in Discovery Studio

Welcome to the Discovery Studio (DS) Components and Protocols forums. If you have a DS Component and Protocol you would like to post to the forum, please follow the basic rules below:

Uploading a DS Component or Protocol


  • Besides your DS Component or Protocol, please include any documents, such as input structure files, that are required to run the Component or Protocol for the first time.
  • Please ensure that your DS Component or Protocol is well commented so that other users can understand them.
  • Please ensure that your DS Component or Protocol is able to run in DS. Note that additional parameters or components may be necessary compared to Pipeline Pilot specific Component or Protocols.
  • Provide all the files needed in a single compressed file


Downloading and using a Component or Protocol


  • Download and unzip the files (if necessary), then access the DS Component or Protocol directly through the Discovery Studio files explorer. We recommend putting DS Components or Protocols into your user folder seen in the DS files explorer window.



If you have any comments on the DS Component or Protocol, or questions, please reply to the original post containing the DS Component or Protocol.

Any DS Component or Protocol that you download from this site are not supported by Accelrys. If you have any questions, please use the forums.


Thank you for sharing your DS Components or Protocols with fellow users in the Accelrys community.

Best regards,
