MOL2LAMMPS is a custom open-source conversion tool to enable a user to generate working LAMMPS input files for various MD or other studies. The program was designed with the intention for studies of molecular crystals however can still be used for non-crystalline systems.
LAMMPS is a very versatile MD software however, creating LAMMPS input files on-the-fly is often difficult. There are a few commercial software GUI that have been designed to do this which work quite well. (i.e. loading a structure into GUI and hitting a few buttons).
MOL2LAMMPS was built as a zero-cost alternative to such software.
