Amsterdam Modeling Suite

Atomistic Scale

Electronic Structure

ADF

Understand and predict chemical properties with our fast and accurate molecular DFT code.

Periodic DFT

BAND & Quantum Espresso: Calculate reactivity, band gaps, optical response, and other properties for periodic systems.

DFTB & MOPAC

Model larger molecules and periodic systems, or prescreen many candidates, with the fast electronic structure methods DFTB and MOPAC.

Interatomic Potentials

ReaxFF

Study large, chemically evolving systems with ReaxFF molecular dynamics.

Machine Learning Potentials

Use preparametrized ML potentials M3GNET, ANI-1ccx or your own models.

Force Fields

GFN-FF, Apple&P, UFF, and more- (polarizable) force fields.

Meso- & Macroscale

kMC and Microkinetics

Predict catalytic turn-over frequencies with microkinetics and kinetic Monte Carlo.

Bumblebee: OLED stacks

3D kinetic Monte Carlo for simulating OLED device-level physics

Fluid Thermodynamics

COSMO-RS

Quick physical property predictions, thermodynamic properties in solution, and solvent screening.

Tools

Workflows and Utilities

OLED workflows

Automatic workflows to simulate physical vapor deposition and calculate properties for OLED device modeling.

ChemTraYzer2

Automatically extract reaction pathways and reaction rates from reactive MD trajectories.

Conformers

Easily generate, screen, refine, and select conformers. Pass on to other modules for conformational averaging.

Reactions Discovery

Predict chemical (side) reactions from nothing but constituent molecules.

AMS Driver

Properties

Calculate frequencies, phonons, and more. Use forces and energies from AMS or external engines.

PES Exploration

Minimize structures, find transitions states, scan multiple coordinates.

Molecular Dynamics

Use advanced thermo- and barostats, non-equilibrium and accelerated MD, molecule gun.

Monte Carlo

Grand Canonical Monte Carlo to study absorption, (dis)charge processes.

Interfaces

ParAMS

Versatile graphical and python scripting tools to create training sets and parametrize DFTB, ReaxFF, and machine learned potentials.

PLAMS

Versatile python scripting interface to create your own computational chemistry workflows

GUI

Powerful graphical interface to set up, run, and analyze calculations. Even across different platforms.

VASP

Interface to popular plane-wave code VASP. Easily set up PES Scans to create training data.
