GROMACS Wizard

This tutorial presents the GROMACS Wizard Extension, a SAMSON extension for system preparation and simulation locally and in the Cloud using the well-known GROMACS package.

The GROMACS Wizard Extension integrates the main GROMACS features into SAMSON – it provides the possibilities to easily prepare systems for simulation with GROMACS, run GROMACS simulations locally or in the Cloud, and get the results as simulation trajectories and plots. It ships GROMACS (the latest version of the extension ships GROMACS 2021.3) meaning that you do not need to compile and install the GROMACS package yourself. But it also provides the possibility to use your local installation of GROMACS (e.g., build specifically on your PC for performance reasons) if you would like to.

This extension is available on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
