DL_Software Training

DL_Software is a collective term for a number of scientific software packages developed by a group of dedicated scientists from Computational Materials and Molecular Sciences theme at STFC Daresbury Laboratory that implements state-of-the-art simulation methods – from the atomistic through the meso-scopic scales of modelling.

We are pleased to announce that there will be a 3-day, in-person DL_Software training event at the University of Manchester, Manchester, UK from 14-16 May 2025. The packages that are be included in this training are as follows:

• DL_POLY – A general purpose particle dynamics program, able to handle very large systems on large heterogeneous computers. Inclusive of both Molecular Dynamics (MD) and now Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) integrators with variety of classical interaction potential forms it is capable to run atomistic and coarse-grained models of molecular systems.
• DL_FIELD – A general force-field (FF) model setup tool for DL_POLY, Gromacs and Lammps.
• D_ATA – Atom Typer and Analyser for atomistic systems produced from molecular simulations.
• DL_MESO – Lattice Boltzman (LBE)
• Shapespyer – A python driven tool-chain for semi-automatic preparation and running simulations of molecular nanostructures, relevant to condensed softmatter and biomolecular research, using DL_POLY, Gromacs and NAMD.
