HyperChem Release 7 Now Shipping
March 4, 2002
Gainesville, Florida - Hypercube, Inc., developers of the popular PC based chemical molecular modeling package, HyperChemâ, today announced the release of its newest version of HyperChem Professional for Windows 98, NT, ME, 2000 and XP.
HyperChem Release 7 introduces major enhancements in functionality for the popular research and educational software suite. An important new capability in HyperChem Pro Release 7 is HyperDFT, a Density Functional Theory (DFT) package. DFT is a relatively new mathematical method for the quantum mechanical computation of the ground state properties of molecules and solids. The 1998 Nobel Prize was awarded for fundamental work on Density Functional Theory. HyperChem Pro Release 7 contains an extremely rich selection of density functionals and an easy to use interface that allows its users to perform accurate, state-of-the-art, molecular computations. HyperDFT provides reliable answers for molecular systems that are difficult to address using conventional ab initio methods.
Also incorporated into Release 7 is HyperNMR, a package that performs a priori quantum mechanical simulation of NMR spectra, and HyperChem Data, a molecular database product, each previously sold separately as modules. In addition to other improvements, Release 7 includes a new very fast semi-empirical method, Typed Neglect of Differential Overlap (TNDO), parameterized for accurate general purpose computations.
Pricing (in $US) for HyperChem Professional Release 7 remains $995 (Academic) and $1495 (Commercial). Discounted pricing is available for upgrades from previous versions. Please contact sales@hyper.com, visit our website www.hyper.com, or call 1-800-960-1871 for more information.
