Old Standalone ReaxFF Manual 2022.1¶
WARNING: This manual described the old standalone ReaxFF program, which will be removed from a future release of the Amsterdam Modeling Suite. If possible, use ReaxFF as an AMS engine instead.
ReaxFF is a tool for modeling chemical reactions with atomistic potentials based on the reactive force field approach developed by Prof. Adri van Duin and coworkers. SCM has modernized, parallelized and greatly optimized the original Reax program but kept it input- and output-compatible with the original, with some extensions.
Graphical user interface (GUI) tutorials:
- GUI overview tutorials
- ReaxFF-GUI tutorials
- 2-day hands on ReaxFF workshop (also involves scripting).
