Software for visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules, ''molecular visualization software'', can be distinguished from molecular modeling software. Strictly speaking, ''Visualization'' software displays a pre-existing molecular model without changing it, while ''modeling'' software can create the model, or modify it by adding or removing moieties, changing covalent bonds, bond angles, conformation, or non-covalent interactions. | Software for [[Introduction to molecular visualization|visualizing the three-dimensional structures of molecules]], ''molecular visualization software'', can be distinguished from molecular modeling software.
