What is LPMD?

Las Palmeras Molecular Dynamics (LPMD) is a highly modular, extensible molecular dynamics (MD) free code. LPMD is able to perform equilibrium MD simulations of bulk crystalline solids, amorphous solids and liquids, as well as non-equilibrium MD (NEMD) simulations such as shock waves simulations, projectile impacts, cluster collisions, shearing, deformation under load, heat conduction, melting, among others. The program includes several tools to prepare the atomic systems, such as freezing atoms to act like walls, unstoppable group of atoms with constant-velocity, adding external forces such as electric fields, among others.
