Mathcad combines five technical software tools in high-value special offer
ChemDraw prepares the structures (and chemical reaction diagrams too), Chem3D transforms them into 3D models for graphical examination and molecular modelling, and ChemFinder files the structures (or reactions) and their associated information in a chemically intelligent database.
Current users of ChemOffice know that the combined power of ChemDraw, Chem3D, and ChemFinder makes for a comprehensive and highly useful desktop chemistry suite to handle the chemist's everyday needs, but ChemOffice 04 has even more to offer.
In addition to constantly improving the utility and integration of the three applications, the ChemOffice team has been working on extending the integration of ChemOffice with Microsoft Office to provide the total package scientists need to manage business and chemistry from one desktop station.
