Gaussian 16W can read and write files directly from Windows folders, OneDrive (with caution), or network drives. It can also interface with other Windows-based software like ChemDraw, Microsoft Excel (for data parsing), and Python via subprocess calls.
Gaussian began in the 1970s and has evolved into one of the most established packages for ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The software is designed for chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and related researchers who need reliable electronic-structure predictions for small molecules through moderately sized systems. Gaussian 16W provides that functionality on Windows workstations and servers, enabling users who prefer Windows or whose institutional infrastructure is Windows-based to run the Gaussian 16 code. gaussian 16w
