Main features

From the physics point of view the software provides coefficients that are useful for the determination of the microscopic structure of composites, molecules, etc.

• the dipolar and quadripolar coefficients
• the depolarization factor

Using these coefficients, the software also provides:

• the visualization of simulated polar graphics generated by HRS
• molecular position and dipolar momentum in 3D
• easy data and graphics export

• Free and open-source software portal
