It is a real pleasure to know that MAPS 3.2 is ready for download.

It is the result of long development efforts which introduce a lot of new functionality (database, QSAR, Amorphous builder, LAMMPS, TOWHEE, ABINIT, scripting, ...).

I would like to thank our fantastic development team for the extras miles they had to go in order to put everything in place.

MAPS 3.2 is really a major achievement not only because this is our product but because it really brings new concepts and tools in Materials Science never used before in such a way.

MAPS today is not only a modeling environment but a scientific toolbox.

For instance with SciPython up and running one could try something very nice:


1. from the Windows Start menu choose Scienomics | SciPython-2.6 | Pydee IDE
2. navigate to http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/gallery.html
3. click on any chart ( eg: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/exa..._demo.html)
4. copy the Python code from below the picture onto the clipboard
5. switch to Pydee and press the Create a new python script toolbar button
6. in the New Python script dialog give it a name, like surface3d_demo.py and press the Save button
7. paste the python code from the clipboard into this script
8. press the Run current script in interactive console toolbar button
9. a new figure window is opening displaying a 3D plot in interactive mode even
10. repeat steps 3-8 for any gallery picture as you wish

Moral?

You get with MAPS a complete Python based scientific computing environment, with 3 full IDE's like: Pydee, IDLE, PythoWin.

So you can (or we can for you):

create complete Qt (!) and wxPython (!) based GUI applications: own applications for automating your environments based on MAPS and the Computing engines, etc.

do scientific computations with Numpy and ScientificPython, ( even image processing with PIL)

do with Matplotlib and OpenGL printing quality plotting of your results, data, statistics, experiments

have database support for managing your scientific data ( beside the MAPS Database, of course):

o MS SQL Server, MS Access, AS/400, etc. access through the Microsoft ADO
o for very large or complex data management with PyTable and HDF5

Practically there is no more need to install any third party Python distribution! As you realize this is a golden eye for free!

But this our philosophy and MAPS can certainly be shaped to your needs.

It is really a very exciting moment for all of us since MAPS 3.2 is not simply the next version of MAPS but a real break-through in simulation technology since many IT advances are brought together in one unique environment. Database support, QSAR technology, innovative thermodynamic modeling are just a few of the developments that complete the long list of new functionality available in MAPS 3.2.

MAPS 3.2 users can better than ever build complex molecular systems and solve real industrial problems. Our commitment for full scientific support to our users is always our top priority. This is realized via the development of smart Python scripts or simply by simple "how to" support.

Join us and feel this unique experience of working with a real scientific company that delivers quality.

The quality of the speakers enrich the exchanges and prove that these meetings are valuable to all of us.

Personally I would like to underline the importance of molecular modeling and simulations which can be used as virtual experimentation in order to support Quality by Design where the need for a systematic analysis of alternative is necessary but at the same time impossible given their large number.

Therefore the development of validated and performing models based of strong scientific arguments is necessary. This can certainly achieved via multiscale modeling and simulations as suggested by our MAPS platform.

Today, pursuing this tradition we want to organize an even larger consulting group composed not only by Scienomics users but also include scientists who simply want to promote the use of modeling and simulations in the industrial R&D. For this reason in November 2009 we are organizing a major scientific event with the aim to gather molecular modelers, materials scientists and chemical engineers is order to promote scientific exchange with focus on industrial applications.

I would like to invite you personally to join us and share with us your experience and your expectations.

Scienomics is in it sixth year of existence and we have decided to bring to our web site a new dimension, this of real stream communication with everybody interested in molecular simulations and Scienomics in particular.

Thank you in advance for visiting our pages and you are very welcome to make any comments and suggestions. I also would like to personally invite you to visit our SciForum, which is aimed to be a place for scientific discussions and exchange.

Best regards,

Xenophon
