Hi there,

This is a short script to build and optimize a dendrimer. This is a step-wise approach where a generation is added to the dendrimer and then it is cleaned and optimized before the next generation is added.

This should give a better starting geometry than just building the dendrimer in one step and optimizing after as it will decrease close contacts etc.

As the dendrimer is constructed, the generations are colored going from red to blue.

Example dendrimer built, optimized, and colored by generation.

Minimum version: Materials Studio 4.2
Modules: Materials Visualizer, Forcite

Best regards,

Stephen
