LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics code with a focus on materials modeling.

Questions related to the amset electronic transport software. Bug reports should go directly to the GitHub Issues page.

The Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE) is a set of tools and Python
modules for setting up, manipulating, running, visualizing and
analyzing atomistic simulations. The code is freely available under
the GNU LGPL license. ASE provides interfaces to different codes
through Calculators which are used together with the central Atoms
object and the many available algorithms in ASE.

Enhanced Monte Carlo (or EMC for short) provides a workflow environment, which allows you to control many simulations from one script. EMC consists of a workflow engine – EMC Setup – and a highly optimized MC simulation code. EMC Setup manages a directory structure in which EMC creates input structures using Monte Carlo and energetic principles.

DL_POLY is a general purpose classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation software developed at Daresbury Laboratory.
