MDI Ecosystem#

MDI is supported by a variety of quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics codes. MDI is directly supported by the following codes:

  • LAMMPS

  • OpenMM

  • Psi4

  • QCEngine

  • Quantum ESPRESSO

  • Tinker

Note that QCEngine allows you to run a variety of quantum chemistry codes through a single interface and supports the following codes for use with MDI:

  • DFT-D3

  • entos

  • PetaChem

  • Molpro

  • MOPAC

  • RDKit

  • TorchAni

The following codes support i-PI, with which MDI is compatible (see the -ipi option). Note that the i-PI command set is different from that of the MDI Standard.

  • CP2K

  • DFTB+

  • Siesta

  • FHI-aims

  • Yaff

  • deMonNano

  • TBE
