About

NAMD is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems. Based on Charm++ parallel objects, it scales from desktop and laptop computers to high-end parallel platforms, hundreds of cores for typical simulations, and beyond 500,000 cores for the largest simulations. NAMD is built for researchers who need to simulate large molecular systems efficiently while preserving compatibility with widely used molecular modeling workflows. It uses the popular molecular graphics program VMD for simulation setup and trajectory analysis, and it is file-compatible with AMBER, CHARMM, and X-PLOR. It is designed to support biomolecular simulations involving proteins, membranes, nucleic acids, solvents, ions, and other molecular systems where atomic interactions and time-dependent motion need to be studied in detail.

About

Yade is an extensible open source framework for discrete numerical models, focused on the Discrete Element Method. Its computation parts are written in C++ using a flexible object model that allows independent implementation of new algorithms and interfaces, while Python is used for rapid and concise scene construction, simulation control, postprocessing, and debugging. Yade is designed for researchers and engineers who need to create, run, inspect, modify, and extend particle-based simulations through scripts, interactive commands, graphical tools, and reusable simulation components. Simulations can be built from specialized generators or constructed directly with Python scripts, giving users flexibility for developing custom models, importing geometries, reusing code, and controlling the full simulation loop. It represents each simulation as a scene containing bodies, interactions, and resultant forces, with bodies defined by geometry, material properties, state variables, etc.
