Introduction
EMD (Ellipsoidal Molecular Dynamics) is
A molecular dynamics package for ellipsoidal interactions.
Suitable for large scale simulation of liquid crystalline systems, colloids and certain bio systems.
A free open-source software written in C++ (tested under LINUX OS) under the GPL license.
Features:
-
- Intermolecular interaction potentials: RE-squared , Biaxial Gay-Berne
- Surface interaction potentials: EES (flat and curved)
- Support for heterogeneous interactions of dissimilar ellipsoids
- Symplectic integration of quaternion rigid-body coordinates in NVE, NVT and NPT ensembles
- Nose-Hoover Chains Thermostat and Barostat
- Implementing a fast hybrid Cell Decomposition & Verlet neighbor list using hash tables
- More than 25’000 lines of GPL’ d C++ code, extensible design and intuitive interface
- Fully automated simulation chains via scripting
- Automatic simulation output analyzer, supporting:
- Evaluation of radial distribution functions (combined, transverse and longitudinal)
- Evaluation of bond order correlation functions
- Evaluation of order tensor, bond order and tilt angle
- Evaluation of many thermodynamical quantities (heat capacity, free energy, etc)
