File extension BS description:

Ball-and-stick models and space-filling models (also known as Calotte models) are 3D or spatial molecular models which serve to display the structure of chemical products and substances or biomolecules. Conformational isomerism is the phenomenon of molecules with the same structural formula but different conformations (conformers) of atoms about a rotating bond. ... Cyclohexane is a cycloalkane with the molecular formula C6H12. ... This is a calotte model of cyclohexane. ... The space we live in is three-dimensional space. ... A molecular model, in this article, is a physical model that represents molecules and their processes. ... A chemical substance is any material substance used in or obtained by a process in chemistry: A chemical compound is a substance consisting of two or more chemical elements that are chemically combined in fixed proportions. ... Water and steam are two different forms of the same chemical substance A chemical substance is a material with a definite chemical composition. ... A representation of the 3D structure of myoglobin, showing coloured alpha helices. ...

With ball-and-stick models, the centers of the atoms are connected by straight lines which represent the covalent bonds. Double and triple bonds are often represented by springs, which form curved connections between the balls. The bond angles and bond lengths reflect the actual relationships, while the space occupied by the atoms is either not represented at all, or only denoted essentially by the relative sizes of the spheres.

Help how to open BS files:

To open or to view 3D graphics or CAD-CAM-CAE file types,  you can use one of the suggested application listed below the extension description. If the application is no longer available, try to use a very popular software suite from Autodesk, such as AutoCAD for CAD-CAM files, or 3D Studio MAX for 3D graphics files. AutoCAD and 3D Studio MAX support plugins (to provide new functions and features), which can be used to add import/export support for other 3D file formats in AutoCAD or 3D Studio MAX.
Other very popular application is Blender. The Blender is free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Linux, MAC OS X, Solaris, Irix), which also provides basic support for many 3D formats and plugins.
 
This is a general information about how to open the most common 3D file types, but there are some standards or 3D file formats, that have to be used  with specific applications only. Many of the 3D formats were discontinued years ago and it's very hard to find any application, that can open or convert these old formats.

How to convert file with extension BS:

The general information about how to convert 3D files (if there is no suggested converter application) is pretty simple, because most of 3D applications can also import, export, open or save files in other formats too. When the file is open, you can simply use the SAVE AS../EXPORT function in the FILE menu, and select the 3D file format you desire and just wait for the application to finish the saving/exporting. There is plethora of online converters available on internet for the most well-known 3D formats (AutoCAD, 3D Studio MAX, Blender, Alphacam, Pro/ENGINEER, Pov-Ray etc.).
