Tessel2 is a 3D "compiler" to produce crystal and molecular models, parametric surfaces and several forms of sphere tesselations.
Molecular models combine balls-and-sticks, arrows and coordination polyhedra representations of pure and defective crystals, finite molecules or clusters. The Madelung potential of an ionic system can be computed and depicted on an arbitrary plane or surface. The common crystallographic cell (parallepipedic), as well as the Wigner-Seitz cell or the irreducible components of the WS cell can be easily added to the plot.
Parametric surfaces are defined by means of analytical expressions and several space mappings can be used (i.e. cartesian, spherical coordinates, etc).
Several methods for tesselating the sphere are currently implemented, including: recursively subdividing a inscribed cube, tetrahedron or octahedron; geodesic division based on a number of meridians and parallels; and minimization of the electrostatic repulsion of a set of points lying on the sphere surface.
The program produces output to be rendered with POV-Ray 2 or 3, Geomview (OFF format), or any Virtual Reality renderer (VRML V1.0 format). In addition, a very simple output (POINTS) is provided for those applications in which a list of points is best suited.

General optimization tool adapted to a UNIX environment. Minimizes a general function of several variables using one of several optimization methods. Optim uses system calls to run an external procedure at every trial point. The variables that define this point are passed to the procedure as shell parameters. The procedure returns the function value printing its value in an arbitrary file. This mechanism, some involved from a programmers point of view, is very flexible and well adapted to have a numerical experiment running fast. The system calls add some time to the optimization, but this is irrelevant when the time to compute a single point of the function is significant.

Numerical computation of second derivatives of an arbitrary analytical function computed by means of an external procedure. Derive has been designed as a driver program working in unix environments. The programs performs system calls to run the external procedure, mechanism that adds some time to the computation, but represents a very flexible method easily adapted to many different tasks.

Navigator searches for specific critical points of a scalar function of several variables.
The function must be provided, at any point requested by the algorithm, by means of an external procedure. The gradient and hessian at any point may either be returned by the external procedure or be numerically determined by special navigator routines. Of course, an analytical gradient and hessian provided by the external procedure can be far more efficient and numerically more stable.
Navigator has been designed as a driver program working in unix environments. The programs performs system calls to run the external procedure, mechanism that adds some time to the computation, but represents a very flexible method easily adapted to many different tasks.
The navigation technique is based on the SJTO algorithm described in: J. Simmons, P. Jorgensen, H. Taylor, and J. Ozment, J. Phys. Chem. 87 (1983) 2745-53.
Numerical derivatives, when external gradient and hessian are not available, are obtained by means of O(h^2) central difference formulas iterated to O(h^2n) using a Richardson method.

Topological analysis (QTAIM) of solid-state electron densities. In this version, densities coming from WIEN2k and aiPI are read. The program can find the whole set of critical points in the cell, integrate basins and make beautiful plots. Active development has stopped and complex bugfixes are incorporated to the new version, critic2.
