Facio is a 3D-graphics program for molecular modeling and visualization of quantum chemical calculations(GAMESS and Gaussian).

It is a GUI for FMO (Fragment MO) calculation. Selected features include:
(1) From a PDB file, create GAMESS/FMO input with 4 mouse clicks.
(2) Manual fragmentation for the non-peptide pieces if needed.
(3) Protonation and geometry refinement (using TINKER of WinGamess).
(4) Easy wave function and basis set selection.
(5) Multilayer input support.
(6) FMO result visualization (PIEDA).
