| Description: SIMS is a program written to calculate the molecular surface which envelops the solvent-excluded volume of the solute molecule. The calculation is based on the Connolly method which has been substantionally improved to overcome deficiencies of the Connolly method to provide a Smooth (i.e., non-singular) Invariant (i.e., independent on orientation of the molecule) Molecular Surface, The SIMS calculates a DOT presentation of the molecular surface, i.e. array of 3D coordinates of surface elements, their normal vectors and areas.
