The KIM API is an Application Programming Interface for atomistic simulations. The API provides a standard for exchanging information between atomistic simulation codes (molecular dynamics, molecular statics, lattice dynamics, Monte Carlo, etc.) and interatomic models (potentials or force fields). It also includes a set of library routines for using the API with bindings for: FORTRAN 77, Fortran 90/95, Fortran 2003 C, C++ Atomistic simulation codes that support the KIM API work seamlessly with the KIM-compliant interatomic models (KIM Models) distributed on this website. The interface is computationally efficient and often requires relatively minor changes to existing codes. This package contains the development files (headers and documentation) for KIM-API.
