Molecular dynamics simulations are often used to study biophysical systems. Depicted here is a 100 ps simulation of water. A simplified description of the standard molecular dynamics simulation algorithm, when a predictor-corrector-type integrator is used.
Constraint algorithms are often applied to molecular dynamics simulations. Although such simulations are sometimes performed using internal coordinates that automatically satisfy the bond-length, bond-angle and torsion-angle constraints, simulations may also be performed using explicit or implicit constraint forces for these three constraints.
An important advantage of QM/MM methods is their efficiency. The cost of doing classical molecular mechanics (MM) simulations in the most straightforward case scales as O(N 2), where N is the number of atoms in the system. This is mainly due to electrostatic interactions term (every particle interacts with everything else).

The aforementioned DOE multiscale modeling efforts were hierarchical in nature. The first concurrent multiscale model occurred when Michael Ortiz (Caltech) took the molecular dynamics code Dynamo, developed by Mike Baskes at Sandia National Labs, and with his students embedded it into a finite element code for the first time.

Along with the molecular dynamics program, the Desmond software also includes tools for minimizing and energy analysis, both of which can be run efficiently in a parallel environment. Force fields parameters can be assigned using a template-based parameter assignment tool called Viparr . [ 11 ]
Multi-particle collision dynamics (MPC), also known as stochastic rotation dynamics (SRD), [1] is a particle-based mesoscale simulation technique for complex fluids which fully incorporates thermal fluctuations and hydrodynamic interactions. [2] Coupling of embedded particles to the coarse-grained solvent is achieved through molecular dynamics. [3]
A real world molecular system is unlikely to be present in vacuum. Jostling of solvent or air molecules causes friction, and the occasional high velocity collision will perturb the system. Langevin dynamics attempts to extend molecular dynamics to allow for these effects.
