The MoSDeF tools have been designed to facilitate the hierarchical construction of both atomistic and coarse-grained system configurations, the application of classical force fields (i.e., atom-typing), encapsulation of chemical topology information, and the generation of input files for a variety of molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation engines, including LAMMPS, GROMACS, HOOMD-Blue, Cassandra, and GOMC.

TRUE Simulations

Through the MoSDeF integrated framework, the exact procedures used to set up and perform simulation workflows and associated metadata (i.e. the provenance) can be scripted, encapsulated, version-controlled, preserved, and later reproduced by other researchers. This allows molecular simulation studies to be conducted and published in a manner that is TRUE : “Transparent, Reproducible, Usable by others, and Extensible .” The following paper highlights these principles in details.

True Simulations

Flexibility

System construction and initialization are performed in a simulation engine agnostic fashion, allowing users to use a single set of scripts to generate inputs for a variety of different simulation engines.
Because systems are constructed in a hierarchical, scriptable fashion, modifications to system chemistry can be easily made, allowing for screening over chemical space.


Flexibility

Community

MoSDeF is designed to allow system construction scripts to be easily made into easy to distribute libraries; similarly, forcefield files contain parameters and their usage rules that can be easily shared and version controlled.
