− | <h6>NFsim is useful if you want to simulate a system with many interacting molecules in different states and/or molecules with many interacting sites where a bond can be formed. For an in depth explanation about how NFsim works, we refer to the first chapter of the NFsim manual provided by Yale University, which can be found here: | + | <h6>NFsim is useful if you want to simulate a system with many interacting molecules in different states and/or molecules with many interacting sites where a bond can be formed.

In most cases, the zip file will be saved on the folder “Downloads”, which is undesired. We recommend that you place the file to another location, which can easily be found and reached. For example, we created a new folder on our D-drive (mostly used for data), and named it NFsim. We placed the zip file into this folder and there we unpacked / unzipped the file. NFsim is now located in D:NFsim\NFsim_v1/11. It is recommended to use names without spaces, or choose an underscore _ instead. | In most cases, the zip file will be saved on the folder “Downloads”, which is undesired.

In addition to downloading NFsim, it is required to install a Perl interpreter for Windows user. We downloaded Active Perl (name: ActivePerl-5.24.1.2402-MSWin32-x64-401627.exe) from: https://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads | In addition to downloading NFsim, it is required to install a Perl interpreter for Windows user.
