Hi,

You can create a nanotube or graphene via VMD with that plugin.

You should look for a force field of fullerene, especially a topology file to create the structure and a parameter file if you want to simulate the system. You can find it from MD studies of carbon nanomaterials. Once you have a topology file then just use VMD to create it.

You can get in Ninithi- it's completely open source software. Also you can use Nanotube Modeler which is not completely free, but it's a low cost software.

Hi,

With Avogadro.

Hi what i want to work on it is not exactly fullerene or carbon structures. it's a synthetic protein. at first step i need to know how can i replicate hexagon in space ( its angles and ... )and create a fullerene -like structure, Although thank you so much.i 'll check Avogadro & Ninithi source code, it may help me.

Hi

thank you so much.

I 'm vmd user but what i want to work on it is not exactly fullerene or carbon structures .it' s a synthetic protein and at first step i need to know how can i replicate hexagon in space ( its angles and ... )and create a fullerene -like structure, i think vmd dosent provide this possibility for me and i must write its tcl code, so i need to have a sample code and convert it to tcl language that vmd recognizes it. do you have any recommendation for this purpose ?

cheers,
