  Abstract: FORmula TRANslation (FORTRAN) is a fast, robust computing language specific for scientific computing. GROningen Machine for Chemical Simulations (GROMACS) is a fast, flexible and free molecular dynamics package. We have been using FORTRAN for data collection and analysis of large-scale atomistic simulation for self-assembled nanostructures of VECAR molecules in water at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. GROMACS is used in order to perform molecular dynamics simulation and also for data analysis. From our experience, FORTRAN is easy to use and comes with nice array notation. GROMACS helps us to simulate the dynamics of our research subject of a system of molecules in a controlled environment.
