Data Storage

Result data from calculations is stored on your computer. The calculations themselves are performed on the cloud server.

Limitations

  • You cannot run the following modules in Materials Studio Simulation:
    • CANTERA
    • CCDC
    • Gaussian
    • QMERA
  • You cannot run the following tasks and jobs in Materials Studio Simulation:
    • Amorphous Cell Construction (Legacy)
    • All CCDC tools (third-party)
    • Gaussian tools (third-party)

For more information on modules, tasks, and jobs, see the Materials Studio Help. You can view this from the Materials Studio client app.

Credits

Calculations on the cloud server are charged on a credit basis. For more information, contact your BIOVIA sales representative.

Licensing

When you start Materials Studio Simulation from the Compass, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform verifies that you have an appropriate license. You do not need to install a license on your computer.

If you want to start Materials Studio directly from your computer (for example, from the Windows Start menu, or a desktop icon), you require a license. To purchase a license, contact your BIOVIA sales representative.
