QuantumWise has released a new version of their software platform for atomic-scale modeling, Virtual NanoLab, and the simulation engine Atomistix ToolKit.

QuantumWise launched their 2014 edition of Virtual NanoLab and Atomistix ToolKit. Virtual NanoLab has been expanded to act as a graphical user interface for other codes, like VASP, Quantum Espresso, LAMMPS, etc. These software packages are very popular both in academic and industrial communities, but suffer from a lack of a good front-end. Virtual NanoLab solves this problem by providing a low-cost professional graphical user interface that allows scientists to work more efficiently with the codes.

Instead of battling input file formats and manipulating large data output files manually, users can design advanced structures in an interactive high-performance 3D graphical builder, and automatically generate run-ready input files for literally any external code. When the calculation is done it is easy to import the output files to plot the results and further analyze the data.  The Virtual NanoLab platform is available for Linux, Windows and now also Mac OS. Prices start from 500€ for a perpetual license for academic users. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waepumdD0l4 ;
