Description

Coarse-grained models ESPResSo is a highly versatile software package for performing and analyzing scientific Molecular Dynamics many-particle simulations of “coarse-grained” bead-spring models as they are used in soft matter research in physics, chemistry and molecular biology. It can be used to simulate systems such as polymers, liquid crystals, colloids, ferrofluids and biological systems, for example …

Features

ESPResSo can perform simulations of various physical systems in different ensembles. It is optimized for coarse-grained models and has the following characteristics: ESPResSo is alive! It is actively maintained and refined by members of the Institute for Computational Physics, Stuttgart and contributors from all around the globe. ESPResSo is controlled by python scripts, which gives it great flexibility. ESPResSo …
