[Pw_forum] classical potential MD simulation

[Giovanni La Penna]

It may be possible to make QM/MM with QE and
some empirical MD package. Some years ago a sort
of plugin was build for DLPOLY/Siesta:

J. Torras et al., PUPIL: a systematic approach to
software integration in multi-scale simulations
Comp. Phys. Commun. 177, 265 (2007).

Maybe, with a limited amount of work, additional
software, etc.. There is a big problem with PBC
for QM area merged into a classical system larger
than QM boundaries.
