Your original coordinates remain untouched, ensuring that your analysis is always reproducible. 2. Top Analysis Techniques for Materials Science
If you find yourself clicking the same five buttons every morning, write a simple Python script to load your "top" modifier stack automatically. ovito top
This is the gold standard for identifying crystal structures. Whether you are distinguishing between FCC, BCC, or HCP lattices, CNA is the first modifier most researchers reach for. Your original coordinates remain untouched
Use the "Color by Property" modifier to visualize stress tensors, velocities, or potential energy. This turns a static image into a heatmap of physical properties. or HCP lattices
