LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics code that models an ensemble of particles in a liquid, solid, or gaseous state. It can model atomic, polymeric, biological, metallic, granular, and coarse-grained systems using a variety of force fields and boundary conditions. In the most general sense, LAMMPS integrates Newton’s equations of motion for collections of atoms, molecules, or macroscopic particles that interact via short- or long-range forces with a variety of initial and/or boundary conditions.
LAMMPS is a freely available open-source code distributed under the terms of the GNU Public License, which means you can use or modify the code however you wish.
The LAMMPS users’ notes have more details on how to run LAMMPS on the LCRC servers.
