Welcome to the CAChe Molecular Modeling Tutorials

Getting Started with CAChe

Opening CAChe:

There are several ways to start the CAChe program.

From the Start Menu

	Select the CAChe folder
	Select Workspace

From the Desk top, select the CAChe Short-cut

From My computer,

	Select Local Disk (C:)
	Select the Program Files folder
	Select the Fujitsu folder
	Select the CAChe folder
	Select cache.exe

The program opens with the User Interface.

Tips using the tutorials:

You may start at any point in the tutorials. However, they will be most effective if you start at the beginning, build the molecules and then learn about the other features using these molecules.

Keep the CAChe window and your browser window open simultaneously. Flip back and forth between the tutorials and CAChe as you work your way through the tutorials.

Begin with an overview of the Basics of CAChe.

Dr. Karen Brewer at Virginia Tech has a tutorial with a graphical overview of the CAChe Screen . You may want to try that.

There is a series of tutorials for an earlier, MAC, version of CAChe at Oxford University: http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/course/cache/default.html
