aenet

ænet (The Atomic Energy Network) is a software package for the calculation of atomic interaction potentials. Neural network potentials can be generated from energy and material structure data. ænet also provides C and Fortran libraries that allow integration of the generated potentials into molecular dynamics simulation software such as Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE).
