POEMS (Parallelizable Open source Efficient Multibody Software) library

Rudranarayan Mukherjee, RPI mukher at rpi.edu June 2006

---

This is version 1.0 of the POEMS library, general purpose distributed multibody dynamics software, which is able to simulate the dynamics of articulated body systems.

This library must be built with a C++ compiler, before LAMMPS is built, so LAMMPS can link against it.

Build the library using one of the provided Makefiles or creating your own, specific to your compiler and system. For example:

make -f Makefile.g++

If the build is successful, you should end up with a libpoems.a file.
