LAMMPS MD Simulator

Purpose

Provides expert guidance on LAMMPS molecular dynamics simulations, including input script generation, force field selection, and parallel execution optimization.

Capabilities

• Input script generation and validation
• Force field selection (EAM, Tersoff, ReaxFF)
• Boundary condition and ensemble configuration
• Thermodynamic property extraction
• Trajectory file analysis
• Parallel run optimization (MPI/GPU)

Usage Guidelines

1. Input Script Generation: Create LAMMPS input files with proper syntax and structure
2. Force Field Selection: Choose appropriate interatomic potentials for the system
3. Ensemble Configuration: Set up NVT, NPT, or NVE ensembles correctly
4. Output Analysis: Process dump files and thermodynamic output
5. Performance Optimization: Configure parallel execution for HPC environments

Tools/Libraries

• LAMMPS
• OVITO
