== Features ==

MBN Explorer allows to combine different types of [[Interatomic_potential|interatomic potentials]] to specify more than one interaction to a particular atom or a group of atoms. Advanced features of the program include flexible [[Coarse-grained_modeling|coarse graining]], the possibility to perform relativistic molecular dynamics simulations.<ref name="JCompPhys_2013">{{cite journal |vauthors=Sushko GB, Bezchastnov VG, Solov'yov IA, Korol AV, Greiner W, Solov'yov AV |title= Simulation of ultra-relativistic electrons and positrons channeling in crystals with MBN Explorer |journal= J Comput Phys |volume= 252 |pages= 404-418 |year= 2013 |doi=10.1016/j.jcp.2013.06.028}}</ref> of [[Ultrarelativistic_limit|ultra-relativistic]] particles in crystalline media, and simulation of irradiation-induced chemical transformations by means of irradiation-driven molecular dynamics.<ref name="Springer_2017">{{cite book |title= Multiscale Modeling of Complex Molecular Structure and Dynamics with MBN Explorer|last=Solov'yov |first= I.A. |author2=Korol A.V |author3=Solov'yov A.V. |year= 2017 |publisher=Springer International Publishing |isbn= 978-3-319-56085-4 }}</ref>

The software is complemented with MBN Studio<ref>{{cite web|title=About MBN Studio|url=http://www.mbnresearch.com/mbn-studio|publisher=mbnresearch.com|accessdate=31 August 2017}}</ref> - a graphical user interface that is used to set up calculations and analyze results of the simulations.
