If you've read anything at all about nanomechical engineering software, you'll probably know at least three things: It's new, their aren't many nanomechanical engineering solutions, and nanomechanical engineering is really, really complicated. NanoEngineer-1 is set to change all that. To begin with, NanoEngineer-1 is free. Not only that, NanoEngineer-1 is easy to install and use. NanoEngineer-1 has been developed with a familiar, intuitive user interface for mechnical engineers with experience using CAD programs like pro/ENGINEER or AutoCAD. NanoEngineer-1 doesn't even require the user to know much about chemistry to use it. In fact, NanoEngineer-1 is an excellent way for mechinical engineers to learn chemistry. NanoEngineer-1's molecular design module combines capabilities found in traditional chemistry modeling software with features found in popular 3-D mechanical CAD systems. With NanoEngineer-1, users can design atomically precise assemblies from a variety of stiff covalent structures, including a number of diamond-lattice frameworks. A parts library of molecular components is also included containing tubes, shafts, bearings, gears, joints, and springs that can be easily inserted and integrated with an existing assembly. In addition, NanoEngineer-1 includes a molecular dynamics module with motors, grounds and dampers that can be attached to a model to create interactive movies of molecular simulations. These movies can be played in forward or reverse, allowing the user to inspect the simulation results graphically at any point of the animation, from any angle. This tight coupling between design and simulation allows for rapid prototyping, analysis, refinement and validation of theoretical nanosystem designs.
