Summary
The basics of MD and common MD simulation practices have been laid out in this chapter to help elucidate the physics and mathematics implemented in MD codes. When the LAMMPS source code is discussed in later chapters, the concepts discussed here will be referenced and explicated in terms of the source code.
In the next chapter, you will be introduced to LAMMPS input script and the execution of MD simulation features through LAMMPS commands, and the repository of standard LAMMPS codes.
