Software recommendation for coarse-grained and multiscale simulation

rpestana94

I have knowledge using software like gaussian and Amber to do atomistic simulations but right now I'm interested in learning how to do coarse-grained simulation, so I'm here looking for a suggestion of people who work in the field, to know which software I should learn, I have read about lammps but I don't know which other are available for free.

Also, I'm interested to do a multiscale simulation, is quite interesting how is applied to multiple fields, so I'm also looking for recommendations about this, how to proceed, how reliable are the results, any reference is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

To conduct coarse-grained simulation, GROMACS is one of the best choices, it is open-source, very flexible, quite efficient, and it has far more users than any other molecular dynamics simulation program

"multiscale simulation" is not a word exactly defined. If you want to run QM/MM dynamics simulation, Amber+Gaussian and NAMD+ORCA are very common combinations for this purpose.

Amber has its built-in CG force field, called SIRAH. See http://www.sirahff.com/ for details.

Thanks, I will check and try to learn gromacs
