INTERACTIVE MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS

We address the use of visualization and interactivity in molecular dyn amics simulation. In an interactive environment the simulator is not o nly provided with the means to view the system in alternative ways in real-time, but is also able to 'steer' the computation in different di rections by changing the governing parameters of the system. The simul ational experience can be enhanced significantly by such means. Severa l examples are outlined.
