The phrase "as a tool for generating" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the purpose or function of something that aids in the creation or production of something else.
Example: "The software is designed as a tool for generating reports quickly and efficiently."
Alternatives: "as a means of producing" or "as an instrument for creating".
This paper presents a free software, named GradientLand, as a tool for generating simulated sets of habitat loss gradients as random and fractal neutral landscapes.
A technique concerning the security of implantable devices is presented in [26], which describes the use of biometrics as a tool for generating cryptographic keys for secure inter-sensor communication.
There is, however, little evidence of research data utilizing ICT as a tool for generating children's ideas through a decision making process which results in changes to their schoolyards.
With this advantage in mind, the objective of this work was to develop a device that uses a similar collection method as the CPR, but with lower construction costs, and to carry out changes in functioning that facilitate its use in fishing craft in the Southeast and South regions of Brazil, for use as a tool for generating oceanographic data applied to fisheries management.
In this paper, we use the CMAP methodology as a tool for generating hypotheses about the mechanisms that regulate molecular and cellular systems.
In the allopolyploid A. suecica (hybrid of A. thaliana and A. arenosa), transgene-induced RNAi has been successfully used as a tool for generating dominant loss-of-function mutations.
Processing, which uses open source programming as a means of education, is now a tool for generating finished professional work.
In this sense, I see the utility of the algorithm both as a peptide structure prediction engine, but also as a useful tool for generating plausible starting structures for MD simulations of modified peptides.
However, for the reasons outlined above, I see its utility much less as a peptide structure prediction engine in the strict sense, but more as a useful tool for generating plausible starting structures for MD simulations of modified peptides.
Computational enzyme design has emerged as a promising tool for generating made-to-order biocatalysts.
Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) are expected as a powerful tool for generating gene knockouts in laboratory and domestic animals.
