This is great. Does anyone know any framework for simulating crystals or 3d lattices in general? I am trying to find something but I am not very familiar with this space.

it depends on if you’re looking for an accurate calculation of atoms and the number of atoms. if you’re just interested in how a lattice of spheres interact, force field software might be your best bet. if you’re interested in electronic properties of real materials you will need higher levels of theory such as DFT or beyond

The subject I am studying is not atoms but perhaps it is similar so I think I can start with force field software and see if it works for my use case. Thanks!

What are you trying to simulate?

Elodin is not really the same sort of physics simulator at all.
