SEAMM Forcefield Plug-in

A SEAMM plug-in for setting up a forcefield or EAM potentials for subsequent simulations.

This plug-in provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for choosing the forcefield or EAM potentials use by subsequent simulation steps.

• Free software: BSD license

• Documentation: https://molssi-seamm.github.io/forcefield_step/index.html

Features

• Support for PCFF class II forcefield.

• Support for OpenKIM and the potentials it supports.

• For OpenKIM potentials choice is managed through a periodic table interface, making it simple to find the right potentials.

History

2023.2.13 – Added OPLS-AA forcefield

• Added parameters for OPLS-AA along with some extra parameters for ionic liquids * PF6- * ethylene carbonate (EC) and fluoronated EC (FEC)

• Added atom-typing templates for most of OPLS-AA. Still missing a few and amino acids and DNA not yet tested.

• Added extensive, almost-complete testing, for OPLS-AA
