This lecture provides a detailed description of the activities the students will perform in the lab. We present a tutorial with step by step instructions on how to run MD simulations using the nano-Materials Simulation Toolkit.

This lecture is part of the learning module Atomic Picture of Plastic Deformation in Metals.
