The OpenMM Cookbook & TutorialsΒΆ

The OpenMM Cookbook & Tutorials is a collection of examples designed to provide an introduction to OpenMM for new users, illustrate how to configure various kinds of molecular simulations using the tools that OpenMM provides, and explain how to perform various common simulation-related tasks in OpenMM.

Each of the tutorials and cookbook entries contains a link to a Jupyter notebook that allows you to download and run the code examples locally (if you have OpenMM and Jupyter installed), and experiment by making your own changes and seeing the results. Alternatively, links are provided to run the notebooks online within Google Colab. The cookbook examples can be run directly in Colab; the runtime is a few seconds for each one. The tutorials can also be run in Colab, but due to the longer compute time required (tens of minutes to hours) you may find it better to run them on your own machine.
