Description

Molden is a software package for displaying molecular coordinates, molecular orbitals, electron densities from various quantum chemical software packages and supports contour and 3-D grid plots. Moreover, Molden supports many output formats including postscript, povray, OpenGL and hpgl.

Versions and Availability

A list of versions currently available on all bwHPC-C5-Clusters can be obtained from the

Cluster Information System CIS

{{#widget:Iframe |url=https://cis-hpc.uni-konstanz.de/prod.cis/bwUniCluster/chem/molden |width=99% |height=200 |border=1 }}

Open the above links by using the right mouse button and select "open in a new window" or "open in a new tab".


On the command line interface of any bwHPC cluster, a list of the available versions using 'module avail chem/molden/version'.

$ module avail chem/molden
------------------------ /opt/bwhpc/common/modulefiles -------------------------
chem/molden/5.2.1


Usage

Loading the module

You can load the default version of Molden with the command

$ module load chem/molden

If you wish to load a specific (older) version of Molden, you can do so using e.g.

$ module load chem/molden/5.1

to load the version 5.1

Software Binaries

Command-Line

Once the module Molden is loaded, the binaries molden and gmolden can be directly executed:

$ molden

Graphical User Interface (GUI)

$ gmolden &
