AMS is a powerful driver for complex potential energy tasks, such as molecular dynamics, linear transits, and finding transition states.

The AMS driver can be used with the modules in the Amsterdam Modeling Suite: ADF, BAND, DFTB, MOPAC, ReaxFF, and UFF, as well as with external compute engines. The Grand Canonical Monte Carlo, force bias Monte Carlo, and molecule gun options can also be used through AMS. Complex PES tasks are made easy by AMS, improving computationally efficiency and enabling high-throughput screening scripting workflows with PLAMS.

With AMS you can easily switch between computational engines, enabling workflows or high-throughput screening to gradually increase accuracy by switching from force fields to tight-binding to density functional theory codes.
