[DFTB-Plus-User] DFTB simulations with classical MD parts

Dear Arun,

you might combine DFTB+ with classical MD, but you would need an 
appropriate MD-framework for it. CHARMM/AMBER/Gromacs had/have 
interfaces to DFTB+ where you can do QM/MM simulations (e.g. through 
running the QM part in a field of external charges). Within DFTB+, we do 
not offer classical MD, as that would be beyond the scope of this project.

Best regards,

Bálint
