Molecular Dynamics has a bright future - in the next few years we expect huge advancements in medicine, materials science, nanoscale machines and so on. Combined with recent advances in computing there has never been a better time to get into the field. It's no wonder then that something with so much potential should be so complicated and have so many requirements and issues that must be solved in order to get it to work properly.

This course will:

• Take you through the structure of all LAMMPS cases so you can navigate any common LAMMPS case file and directory.

• Explain the most common Commands, Fixes and similar LAMMPS functions that control every simulation and give the power to organise anything from the stressing of crystals to the folding of Enzymes.

• Explore the way complex molecules are put together with classical mechanics based molecular dynamics simulations and the formats used by LAMMPS in particular.

• Demystify the fundamentals of molecular dynamics and demonstrate that it can be straightforward and easily understood providing you have at least a lower undergraduate level background in atomic science.

My main intention is to give enthusiastic students a solid grounding in LAMMPS simulation use and construction from which they can expand into any area of interest.
