Chapter 8. The Representation of Models

Model parameters
Model file formats

In Bsoft, a model is an interpretative representation of the data, similar in sense to molecular models, but at a coarser grain and with much larger extent. A model is composed of components, component types, connections between components, and higher order relationships, such as polygons and polyhedra. The aim with models is to provide descriptions of large assemblies of components while handling redundancies with component types.

Model parameters

The unit parameter is the component, which can be molecule, a molecule group, part of a molecule, or a density.
