Overview
MD++ is a molecular dynamics simulation package written in C++. It is originally developed by Wei Cai when he was a graduate student at MIT and still being updated to include more features. MD++ is supposed to run in a Unix/Linux environment. However, if you have cygwin,<ref>For download and installation, visit http://www.cygwin.com/. You must download and install the full package of cygwin. See http://micro.stanford.edu/~caiwei/Forum/2004-12-12-MD++/cygwin.html for installation instructions.</ref> a linux-like environment installed in your Windows machine, you can also enjoy MD++ there. Currently, this code is designed mainly for studying the atomic behavior in solid crystal materials. It can also be extended to study other systems, such as fluids, polymers and bio-molecules. This document is the first of a series of manuals written for those new to MD simulations. These manuals explain how to use MD++ with simple examples.
