Is CHEMCAD a client-server type application?

A. No. CHEMCAD is a fully integrated software package. The graphical interface is completely tied into the calculations portion of the program in this way. There is no batch-type communication between interface and calculational engine to slow the program down. It is possible, however, to install CHEMCAD on a network server and run the program from client machines. In this case, the client machine is actually doing ALL of the calculations. Typically, we find that this slows down the program significantly, so we recommend installing to the client machine(s), if at all possible.
