The Challenge

The Amsterdam Modeling Suite is advanced software for chemists and materials scientists. Its uses range from batteries to catalysis and polymers. SCM needed a short video that showed the value of modeling materials on a computer before building them in the lab.

Our Solution

We used batteries as the example. The video starts with batteries in cars, homes and devices, then moves inside a cell. Materials are tested, some pass and some fail, and molecules appear on a laptop screen. Clean UI screens show how a model is set up and what the results look like. The video ends on research turning into a final product with less trial and error.

From molecule to product

The video uses one familiar example to explain a complex tool. Here is how it plays out, frame by frame.
