Polymer simulation source code in C++ and Python

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the analysis of three distinct Polymer simulation source codes: Monte-Carlo-simulation-of-polymers, PolymerPhysicsSimulation, and Polymer-MonteCarlo. Each program serves different objectives, including polymer growth, and may represent either bio-polymers or synthetic polymers. Additionally, they differ in their simulation approaches, being either lattice-based or off-lattice, and can represent hard-polymers or soft-polymers. Users are advised to run the simulations as per the programmer's instructions and examine the code comments for a better understanding of the algorithms employed.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Monte Carlo simulation techniques

TL;DR
Polymer simulation source code in C++ and Python.
I am absolutely new to Polymer simulation. I am trying to understand the simulation by analyzing source code written by others.

Can anyone tell me what are the differences between the following three source code in terms of their objectives?

  1. Monte-Carlo-simulation-of-polymers
  2. PolymerPhysicsSimulation
  3. Polymer-MonteCarlo
For example, I want to know:

  1. if they achieve the same objectives, i.e., polymer growth.
  2. if they represent bio-polymers (e.g. proteins) or synthetic polymers.
  3. if they are lattice-based or off-lattice simulations.
  4. if they represent hard-polymers or soft-polymers.

This is a pretty unreasonable request. These are specialized programs written in different languages by different programmers for different objectives.

The best you can do is run them according to the programmer's instructions and look at the results. Reading the comments will also help. Note which algorithms are mentioned and try to follow the flow to determine what they are trying to do. Also be aware that these programs may not work as advertised or that the comments will accurately reflect what the code is doing.
