FPolymer: A Program for 3D Structure Generation and OPLS Topology of Polymers with High Molecular Mass

The need to study polymeric systems with high molecular masses by techniques such as molecular dynamics using free-use software, coupled with the difficulty of parameterizing such systems, led to the creation of the FPolymer program. This program was built in C++ language using the QT-creator frame...

description The need to study polymeric systems with high molecular masses by techniques such as molecular dynamics using free-use software, coupled with the difficulty of parameterizing such systems, led to the creation of the FPolymer program. This program was built in C++ language using the QT-creator framework and has a simple and intuitive interface. The main function of the program is to use previously parameterized trimers of any polymer to generate a structure with the number of repeating units indicated by the user. As output of the program, the user receives a file <file>.pdb containing the structure of the polymer and a file <file>.top with the topology prepared to perform youngest molecular dynamics in the GROMAS program.
