Recently some people asked me how to get the parameters of OPLS-AA force field and set up a MD simulation for LAMMPS, here’s a brief tutorial mainly using an example of 10 ns NVT simulation of the system containing 1 solute (R) and 200 methanol solvent molecules. If you have other questions after reading the post, please let me know and I can add more details.
