Introduction to LAMMPS for ACES

Overview

Instructor: Andrew Palughi

Time: Tuesday, October 4, 2022 — 1:30PM-4:00PM

Location: online using Zoom

Prerequisites: Current ACCESS ID or HPRC account

This short course provides an introduction to atomistic modeling with classical potentials using LAMMPS. During this course, attendees will work through examples modeling bulk and nanomaterials and calculating material properties. This course is intended to give attendees hands-on experience using molecular dynamics software available on HPRC systems.
