Computation and Theory of Soft Materials
- PaSSion - A Package for Soft Matter Simulation
We develop and maintain PaSSion to perform molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo and
Brownian dynamics simulations, especially for a variety of anisotropic model systems.
- RBAA - Rigid Body Angle-Axis Framework
The RBAA framework provides a platform for GMIN,
OPTIM and
PATHSAMPLE, developed and maintained by the
Wales group in Cambridge, to survey the underlying
potential energy surface (PES) for a wide range of systems to analyse their structure, thermodynamics, and kinetics.
A computational scheme that relied upon methodological development on the geometry optimisation
of rigid bodies decorated with isotropic and anisotropic interaction sites underpins the RBAA framework.
