Types of Packages and Versioning¶
Installer vs Portable¶
On this page one can find download links to multiple versions of our tools, to which release notes can be found here. Currently, we are providing packages marked as installer or portable.
installer - These packages contain an installation file that manages generation of a folder structure, generating shortcuts, etc., and connecting all tools that we are providing within the packages. New installations are independent of the previous ones, which means that one does not lose the previous versions of the software during the installation process.
portable - These packages are zip files containing folder structure with all the tools. One does not need to install this package; It is ready to use directly as downloaded and unpacked. However, no shortcuts, system variables, or paths for license files are set up in these packages. These require manual setup. It may be a good choice for those who do not have administrator rights on the computer.
Versions¶
We are currently providing three versions of our tools: alpha, beta, and stable.
alpha - It is a version of the software that has been developed most recently, often containing new minor features requested by our customers. We are publishing these versions, so you can have your new features as soon as possible.
Some major features are quantitatively tested.
Some features may be unstable.
Not all provided input files may be updated to the new syntax.
Some of provided input may not run until finished.
Included documentation (pdf) may not be fully consistent with the provided package.
beta - It is a version of the software which typically is internally consistent, and contains major changes introduced in some tools.
Some major features are quantitatively tested.
All provided input files are updated to the new syntax and run until finished.
Included documentation (pdf) is updated and consistent with the provided package.
stable - It is a version of the software which fulfills all requirements for being called beta, and for which we have carefully tested values outputted from simulations to make sure that all the models are running as they should.
All major features are quantitatively tested.
No known bugs are present at the date of the release.
Free nextnano tools¶
We offer a number of our tools which can be run without registering and without license.
nextnanomat GUI¶

preparation of input files defining simulations,
running the simulations for multiple values of selected parameters,
control the runtime of the simulation,
overview and analyze obtained results.
