Description

Mathematica gives us a very useful and simple way to visualize Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Mathematica is used to animate the motion of ions from the results of MD calculations produced by the ANRZR2 and MXDORTO programs, written by K. Nishidate and K. Kawamura, respectively. These notebooks allow us to "look" at the dynamic motion of ions within a crystal from the results of MD calculation. There are many advantages to using Mathematica to analyze the MD simlation. For example, we can easily view not only the animation of crystals, but also the graphics of trajectory of atoms over the MD simulation. Utilizing the graphics object in animation notebooks, stereoscopic views and projections of crystals can also be obtained .
