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.
GFNFF
GFNFF force field
Hybrid
Hybrid engine, for embedding and QM/MM calculations that combine multiple engines.
MOPAC
MOPAC is a general-purpose semiempirical molecular orbital package.
Utilities
Molecular dynamics trajectory analysis, OLED workflows, vibrational circular dichroism, …
GUI
The Graphical User Interface.
COSMO-RS
COSMO-RS (COnductor like Screening MOdel for Realistic Solvents) is a program for calculating thermodynamic properties of (mixed) fluids.
ParAMS
ParAMS is a GUI and Python toolkit for the parameterization of ReaxFF and DFTB.
Kinetics
Microkinetics and Kinetic Monte Carlo
Old Standalone ReaxFF
SCM’s standalone version of the reactive force field approach developed by Prof. Adri van Duin and coworkers (deprecated).

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.
AMSConformers
AMSConformers is a Python toolkit for the generation of conformers sets for molecules.
pyZacros
pyZacros is a Python interface to Zacros to simulate reactions on catalytic surfaces using kinetic Monte Carlo.
reactmap
reactmap is a python tool that maps atoms from reactants to products so as to minimize the number of required bond cleavages and formations.
ACErxn
ACErxn is a tool that generates reaction networks for given reactant/product pairs.
