I don’t know anything about the BIOVIA software, sorry. They may not be similar. All I can say is that Chimera is not itself a docking program, but it is very popular for superposition, and for viewing/analysis of docking results output from other programs.
<br>
<br>
Chimera superposition methods:<br>
