This repository contains the Swoose module of the SCINE open-source quantum chemistry software. It provides functionalities for treating large molecular systems with self-parametrizing system-focused atomistic models. This includes the automated parametrization of such models and applying them in single point calculations as well as structure optimizations or molecular dynamics simulations. Furthermore, this module also provides QM/MM hybrid models.
