Create a new project.

6.1.2. New project with current structure

Create a new project using the structure currently displayed in the molecule display area.

6.1.3. Open Project

Open an existing project.

6.1.4. Open Recent Project

Open a recently opened project file.

6.1.4.1. Clear History

Empty the history of recently opened project files.

6.1.5. Project

6.1.5.1. Get Info

View information about the open project. Some information can be edited here.

6.1.5.2. Open Temporary File

Open a temporary file of the opened project.

6.1.5.3. Show in Explorer

Open the wmpjdata folder of the opened project.

6.1.6. New File

Create a new file.

Hint

The shortcut is Ctrl+N .

6.1.7. Open File

Read the molecular structure from file into the main window. It corresponds to the format of various software.

Use Import File if you want to load the structure without switching the current mode file.

Hint

The shortcut is Ctrl+O .

6.1.8. Open Recent File

Open a recently opened file.

6.1.8.1. Clear History

Empty the history of recently opened files.

6.1.9. Reload

Re-load the file opened in the main window.

6.1.10. Save

Overwrites the currently open file or project.

For details, see Save As .

Hint

The shortcut is Ctrl+S .

6.1.11. Save As

Save the molecular structure displayed in the main window as a different name.

After saving, the saved file will be reopened. If you simply want to output the structure in the specified format without reopening it, use Export File.

It is recommended that you enter the file name and the folder name including all files (all upper layers) with one-byte alphanumeric characters only.

If multi-byte characters such as double-byte alphanumeric characters or Japanese characters or spaces are included, some processing may cause problems.

Underscores can be used.

When saving an input file of various solvers, a file is created based on the contents of Keyword Editor and Coordinate Viewer.

If the keyword of the solver you want to save is not displayed in Keyword Editor, Configuration window will open automatically. For MOPAC, GAMESS, Gaussian, NWChem, the coordinates are output in the format selected in File ‣ Coordinate Format.

Hint

The shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+S

6.1.12. Close

Closes the currently open project or file and returns to the startup screen.

6.1.13. Import File

Loads an existing molecular structure file. You can either discard the current structure and load it, or append it to the current structure and load it.

Open File opens the file in file mode when it is read in, but this function overwrites the structure of the molecular display area with the structure of the imported file without switching modes or files.

6.1.14. Import Recent File

Import recently used files.

6.1.15. Import

It reads a specific type of molecular structure.

6.1.15.1. SMILES

Molecular structure is generated from SMILES format string and read into the main window. When Import SMILES window opens, enter the SMILES format string in the text box and press Import button. Internally, conformational search by Bolloon or OpenBabel is also executed at the same time. A working folder named *_smiles_tmp will be created as an intermediate file.

6.1.15.2. Structural Formula

Create a molecule by entering a structural formula. Internally, JSME draws the structural formula, and Balloon or OpenBabel generates the 3D structure by generating SMILES from JSME.

6.1.15.3. Sample File

Load the files in the Samples folder.

6.1.16. Export File

Outputs the current molecular structure in any file format.

6.1.17. Export

Outputs the contents displayed in the main window in the selected format.

6.1.17.1. SMILES

Outputs the molecular structure displayed in the main window as a string in SMILES format. Not available when multiple molecules are displayed in the main window. Use OpenBabel on Cygwin. “Do you want to generate SMILES after completing the hydrogen atoms?” dialog, if “yes”, OpenBabel is executed via mol2 format with the -b option, if “no”, OpenBabel is executed via xyz format.

Warning

To use this function, CygwinWM setup is required.

6.1.17.2. Structural Formula

The image of the structural formula of the molecular structure displayed in the main window is output in SVG format. It can not be used when multiple molecules are displayed in the main window. I use OpenBabel on Cygwin.

Warning

To use this function, CygwinWM setup is required.

6.1.17.3. Image

Outputs the contents displayed in the main window in BMP or JPG format.

6.1.17.4. VRML

Outputs the contents displayed in the main window in VRML format.

6.1.17.5. CHARMM crd File

Outputs the molecular structure displayed in the main window in CHARMM crd format.

6.1.17.6. SDF File

Outputs the molecular structure displayed in the main window in SDF format.

6.1.18. Get Info

Displays detailed information about the molecular structure displayed in the main window.

6.1.19. Open in Text Editor

Open the file displayed in the title of the main window with the text editor selected in the configuration window.

Note

After editing with the text editor, selecting Reload , you can reflect the change on the main window.

6.1.20. Show in Explorer

Open the directory one level higher than the file displayed in the title of the main window.

6.1.21. Exit

Quit Winmostar.
