ESPResSo

The logo of ESPResSo has been produced using ESPResSo itself.

For more details on the software itself, visit the [http://espressomd.org ESPResSo Homepage]!

ESPResSo is a software package for simulations of soft-matter systems, which is co-developed and used in the working group for most of its research.

ESPResSo is capable of doing classical Molecular dynamics simulations of many types of systems in different statistical ensembles (NVE, NVT, NPT). It contains many advanced simulation algorithms (Lattice-Boltzmann). ESPResSo is controlled via Tcl scripts, which gives it a great flexibility.

Besides doing the regular research on different physical systems, the working group is constantly trying to improve and extend the ESPResSo software.
