Intro to Molecular Dynamics Simulation using LAMMPS

This online webinar shares an introduction to Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and explores some of the basic features and capabilities of LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator), a classical MD code.

LAMMPS has potential for solid-state materials (metals, semiconductors) and soft matter (biomolecules, polymers) and coarse-grained or mesoscopic systems. It can be used to model atoms or, more generically, as a parallel particle simulator at the atomic, meso, or continuum scale.

Topics covered in this talk include:
key MD simulation concepts & definitions a walk-through of how an MD program works
MD simulation examples, to demonstrate what properties can be determined
an overview of LAMMPS and how it works (input files, output files, etc.)
