The SCM team proudly announces the 2022 release of the Amsterdam Modeling Suite, AMS2022.
The new ParAMS functionality lets you easily parametrize ReaxFF and DFTB with a helpful graphical user interface. We also offer many other new features and improvements, mainly centered around catalysis (reactivity) and organic electronics.
With parametrized models, such as ReaxFF and DFTB you can simulate larger systems for longer timescales. Sometimes the available parameters may be inaccurate or lacking for your system. Reparametrizing ReaxFF and DFTB models is complex, but ParAMS is here to help! ParAMS is a powerful and user-friendly toolkit with graphical user interface and command-line tools.
We are always thankful for the collaborations, which help us speeding up the development of new functionality to drive your research. For this release, we would like to particularly thank these academic groups:
If you already have an annual license for our software with an automatic license – just download a new binary. To update your cluster license, contact license@scm.com, mentioning your user ID. If you have an older perpetual license or would like to try out new modules, contact us for an upgrade quote or an evaluation license for 2022.
Note that the 2022 release includes two new modules: ML Potentials & Force Field and Advanced Workflows (ParAMS, ChemTraYzer2, OLED tools, microkinetics), which will affect license fees. Prices for 2022 are also indexed for inflation since 2018.
If you do not have any existing license, request a free trial.
