Hello Everyone

Is there any feature in NANOENGINNER that a data file from NANOENGINEER can be used in LAMMPS?

Not directly.

Either nanoengineer must be modified to feed LAMMPS or LAMMPS must be modified to read MMP files
with the necessary force field data.

Do you have any idea of modification?

It would be a significant effort. NanoEngineer-1 does not have the capability to build an MD cell nor does it have the detailed information within it for the force fields required. This is why I wrote modifications to NanoEngineer-1 to allow me to draw molecules and type the atoms, to PACKMOL to build an MD cell containing many molecules with typed atoms and the modifications to msi2lmp in order to generate a LAMMPS Geometry Input File.

My project site is: https://sourceforge.net/projects/moleculardynami/


I think using multiple applications works well for now. In the future I may integrate all the software. If I had funding this could be a commercial
project - in terms of size and complexity.
