OVITO is a scientific visualization and analysis software for atomistic and particle simulation data. It helps scientists gain better insights into materials phenomena and physical processes. The program is freely available for all major platforms under an open source license. It has served in a growing number of computational simulation studies as a powerful tool to analyze, understand and illustrate simulation results.

OVITO on the cover of Nature
We have recently published a molecular dynamics simulation study in the journal Nature. OVITO has played a vital role in this work, and the program also helped us produce the cover image for the issue which was selected by the editors (shown on the right). The DXA function of OVITO was used to extract the network of dislocation line defects from the simulated metallic crystal.
