A new major version of the Materials and Processing Simulation Platform MAPS® has been released recently. Scienomics is pleased to inform customers and interested modelers that new exciting science is now available within the MAPS platform, including a plugin for TOWHEE, a comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation tool developed by Sandia National Labs. TOWHEE will allow users to simulate adsorbtion phenomena in porous materials, gas/liquid and liquid/liquid phase equilibribia and solubilities amongst other properties. A new plugin for QMpot is another highlight for MAPS® 3.0. QMPot enables researchers to perform QM/MM simulations within the framework of MAPS, studying parts of the system using quantum mechanics tools and other parts classically. Please find below the list of new functionality for MAPS® 3.0:

QMPot plugin
Towhee plugin
Inclusion of more generic force fields
Extension to the LAMMPS plugin
Extensions to Analysis
Enhancements to the Crystal Builder
Enhancements to the Surface Builder
Performance improvements
Extensions to the Abinit plugin
DACAPO plugin

LST/QST and the force field fitter (ForFit) will be delivered to customers in an interim release in a few months.With MAPS® 3.0 Scienomics continues it's history of developing creative modeling solutions for materials science, and it's commitment to customers to make the most modern technology available in a user friendly environment, including flexible Python scipting for all tools.
