How AI is used

The Amsterdam Modeling Suite (AMS) is a technical computing platform designed for computational chemistry and materials science. It provides modules for electronic structure calculations, including ADF for molecular DFT and BAND for periodic systems, alongside tools for molecular dynamics and thermodynamics.

This software is designed for researchers in academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and chemical organizations. It supports theoreticians and experimental researchers who need to model chemical properties or simulate materials behavior.

The suite supports tasks such as conformer generation, reaction discovery, and OLED device modeling. Users may set up calculations through a graphical user interface or automate workflows using the PLAMS Python scripting interface.

Buyers should confirm the number of CPU cores and specific modules—such as COSMO-RS or ReaxFF—required for their research goals, as pricing depends on these selections.
