Good day all, our research group is looking at dynamic bonding using HOOMD, where particle/particle interactions could lead to making or breaking a bond, and as such the probability of bonding could be ascertained . Please help if you have any ideas or inputs regarding this...........

Kind regards

Ugochukwu

Hi Ugochukwu,
My lab has developed a hoomd plugin for dynamic bonding simulations: https://bitbucket.org/cmelab/epoxpy/src/dev/ however we haven't had the bandwidth for active development in about a year and it depends on older hoomd versions. Glad to answer questions, but if you're not comfortable compiling from source you may run into frustrations getting things running. The software is also described in this manuscript: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4360/12/11/2547 
Best,
Eric

Thanks ....Dr Eric 

 I was about installing the packages but want to find out if the epoxpy plugin is solely  for simulating polymerization in epoxy blends. I want to find out if it could handle some other user defined systems.


Kind regards .........

Dear Ugochukwu,

If I am not mistaken, Eric's plugin is pretty generic and might be adaptable to your interests. You just specify which particle bonds with which and what their functionalities are. I have used it in the past. What system are you interested in? Alternatively, we are also working on a generic bond formation plugin, but we will need some time to finish it up. 

Regards,
Antonia

Hi Ugochuckwu,
Apologies, I'm on vacation this week and didn't update my booking link.
