OOPSE News

We are pleased to announce the release of OOPSE version 3.0.1. This version is a nearly complete rewrite of the OOPSE and includes many new features.

Here are just some of the changes:

  1. New potentials have been added. The Sutton-Chen potential for joins the EAM potential for tackling transitional metals. Gay-Berne ellipsoids can now be used in pure Gay-Berne and mixed Gay-Berne / Lennard-Jones systems. The CLAYFF force field has been added, and work is ongoing to add and test other traditional potentials.
  2. The electrostatics module can handle up to charge-quadrupole interactions, and can now tackle shifted-potential and shifted-force cutoffs with screened electrostatic interactions.
  3. The rigid body and cutoff group code has been greatly improved.
  4. OOPSE can be used for both solid-state and liquid-state thermodynamic integrations.
  5. New time-saving cutoff methods have been added.
  6. There are new utility codes for analyzing data (StaticProps, DynamicProps), making movies (Dump2XYZ) and for setting up meta-data files for trajectories (atom2mdin, xyz2mdin, pdb2mdin, SimpleBuilder).
  7. There is a new user's manual
  8. SPRNG is not required to build OOPSE.
