The Basic Model Construction Screen

The CAChe system requires you to use this basic CAChe model construction screen to input your chemical model prior to utilization of any energy minimization or molecular calculation procedures.

This page will link to a graphical Overview of the CAChe Screen that will allow you to click on various parts of the CAChe screen and receive information concerning what that particular part of the screen can do for you within the CAChe program. This overview page uses frames which requires you to use a Netscape browser version 2.0 or greater. This can be downloaded from Netscape.
