mol2ps is a freely available command-line utility program which reads
molecular structure files in different formats and generates
Postscript output for 2D display. The Postscript file can then be used
e.g. for creating a bitmap file, using a Postscript interpreter like
Ghostscript.
The MIT Photonic-Bands (MPB) package is a free program for computing the band
structures (dispersion relations) and electromagnetic modes of periodic
dielectric structures, on both serial and parallel computers. It was developed
by Steven G. Johnson at MIT in the Joannopoulos Ab Initio Physics group.
This program computes definite-frequency eigenstates of Maxwell's equations in
periodic dielectric structures for arbitrary wavevectors, using fully-vectorial
and three-dimensional methods. It is especially designed for the study of
photonic crystals (a.k.a. photonic band-gap materials), but is also applicable
to many other problems in optics, such as waveguides and resonator systems.
(For example, it can solve for the modes of waveguides with arbitrary cross-
sections.)
MPQC is the Massively Parallel Quantum Chemistry Program. It computes
properties of atoms and molecules from first principles using the time
independent Schrodinger equation. It runs on a wide range of architectures
ranging from individual workstations to symmetric multiprocessors to
massively parallel computers. Its design is object oriented, using C++.
Capabilities
o Closed shell and general restricted open shell Hartree-Fock energies and
gradients
o Second order open shell perturbation theory (OPT2[2]) and Z-averaged
perturbation theory (ZAPT2) energies.
o Second order closed shell Moller-Plesset perturbation theory energies and
gradients.
o Robust internal coordinate geometry optimizer that efficiently optimizes
molecules with many degrees of freedom.
You can also validate your mpqc binaries when you employ other settings by:
% make validate >& validate.log &
(it may take few days, though)

Code Saturne is a system designed to solve the Navier-Stokes equations in the
cases of 2D, 2D axisymmetric or 3D flows. Its main module is designed for the
simulation of flows which may be steady or unsteady, laminar or turbulent,
incompressible or potentially dilatable, isothermal or not.
Scalars and turbulent fluctuations of scalars can be taken into account. The
code includes specific modules, referred to as "specific physics", for the
treatment of lagrangian particle tracking, semi-transparent radiative transfer,
gas combustion, pulverised coal combustion, electricity effects (Joule effect
and electric arcs) and compressible flows. The code also includes an engineering
module, Matisse, for the simulation of nuclear waste surface storage.
Code_Saturne relies on a finite volume discretisation and allows the use of
various mesh types which may be hybrid (containing several kinds of elements)
and may have structural non-conformities (hanging nodes).
NCS means "Noyau Code Saturne", i.e. "Code Saturne Kernel". This is the
numerical solver.
NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is an interface for array-oriented
data access and a library that provides an implementation of the
interface. The netCDF library also defines a machine-independent
format for representing scientific data. Together, the interface,
library, and format support the creation, access, and sharing of
scientific data. The netCDF software was developed at the Unidata
Program Center in Boulder, Colorado.

NIfTI-1 is an Analyze-style data format, proposed by the NIfTI DFWG
as a short-term measure to facilitate inter-operation of functional MRI
data analysis software packages.
