Gaussian 16 is licensed for a wide variety of computer systems. All versions of Gaussian 16 contain every scientific/modeling feature, and none imposes any artificial limitations on calculations other than your computing resources and patience.
Gaussian 16 is the latest version of the Gaussian series of electronic structure programs, used by chemists, chemical engineers, biochemists, physicists and other scientists worldwide. Gaussian 16 provides a wide-ranging suite of the most advanced modeling capabilities available.
Continuing the nearly 40-year tradition of the Gaussian series of electronic structure programs, Gaussian 16 offers new methods and capabilities which allow you to study ever larger molecular systems and additional areas of chemistry.
The videos in this series are for intermediate to advanced users of Gaussian and GaussView. Each one focuses on a specific Gaussian capability and the GaussView features that support it.
GaussView 6 is the latest iteration of a graphical interface used with Gaussian. It aids in the creation of Gaussian input files, enables the user to run Gaussian calculations from a graphical interface without the need for using a command line instruction, and helps in the interpretation of Gaussian output (e.g., you can use it to plot ...
With GaussView, you can build or import the molecular structures that interest you, set up, launch, monitor and control Gaussian calculations, and view the predicted results graphically, all without ever leaving the application.
The Gaussian directories will require about 2-3 GB of disk space for the executables, depending on the computer system. The default memory allocation in Gaussian 16 is 800 MB.
