Biomolecular Simulation: OpenMM and MDAnalysis: FAQ

OpenMM

Is OpenMM the only way to run simulations?
Absolutely not.
Are there multiple integrator types and barostats? Why did you choose the ones you did?
Probably.
Can I use a force field family other than AMBER with OpenMM?
FIXME
Can I only use the prmtop and inpcrd file formats as inputs?
FIXME
Does this work on both CPUs and GPUs?
Yep.

How do I “baby the simulations”? ; FIXME

Does MPI for Python exist?
Boy howdy does it. You can read more in the MPI for Python documentation.
What’s this 0.999 nanosecond thing about?
FIXME
If I were going to start doing this full time, what quirks or problem areas should I be aware of?
FIXME

MDAnalysis

Are there other ways to analyze trajectories?
I assure you, cpptraj exists.
