General¶
- Installation Manual
 - Installation of the Amsterdam Modeling Suite program package.
 - Tutorials
 - GUI-, Scripting- and Advanced tutorials for all programs.
 
Programs¶
- AMS driver
 The driver program of the Amsterdam Modeling Suite.
- ADF (Amsterdam Density Functional)
 - A DFT engine particularly strong in understanding and predicting structure, reactivity, and spectra of molecules.
 - BAND
 - BAND is an atomic-orbital based DFT engine for periodic systems.
 - DFTB
 - DFTB (Density-Functional based Tight-Binding) is a fast approximate DFT engine.
 - ReaxFF
 - Reactive force field approach developed by Prof. Adri van Duin and coworkers.
 - MLPotential
 - Machine learning potentials (machine learning force fields).
 - ForceField
 - ForceField engine, including UFF.
 - Hybrid
 - Hybrid engine, for embedding and QM/MM calculations that combine multiple engines.
 - MOPAC
 - MOPAC is a general-purpose semiempirical molecular orbital package.
 
- GUI
 - The Graphical User Interface.
 - Old Standalone ReaxFF
 - SCM’s standalone version of the reactive force field approach developed by Prof. Adri van Duin and coworkers.
 - COSMO-RS
 - COSMO-RS (COnductor like Screening MOdel for Realistic Solvents) is a program for calculating thermodynamic properties of (mixed) fluids.
 
Scripting¶
- Scripting
 - The Amsterdam Modeling Suite includes several scripting environments, each with a specific scope and purpose.
 - PLAMS
 - PLAMS (Python Library for Automating Molecular Simulation) is a collection of tools that aim at providing powerful, flexible and easily extendable Python interface to molecular modeling programs.
 - ParAMS
 - ParAMS is a Python toolkit for the parameterization of AMS engines such as ReaxFF and DFTB.
