NanoVer Fundamentals

We provide a set of Jupyter notebook tutorials that introduce NanoVer as a framework for performing interactive molecular dynamics simulations, and the fundamental concepts associated with the client-server architecture that NanoVer uses. These tutorials can be used in conjunction with the information in concepts to understand how NanoVer works and are found in the examples folder of the GitHub repository.

Here we give a summary of each tutorial:

• frame: A notebook that introduces the concept of the frame, the object sent by the NanoVer server to the client that contains data associated with the molecular system.

• servers: A notebook that introduces the concept of the NanoVer server, and explains its role within the client-server architecture of NanoVer.

• commands_and_state: A notebook that introduces the concepts of commands, and explains how NanoVer achieves synchronised multi-user interactive molecular simulations via the shared state dictionary.

• visualisations: A notebook that demonstrates how to change the visualisation of the interactive molecular simulation within the NanoVer iMD VR client.
