The following is a sortable list (to change sort criteria click on the square icon next to the column title) of software for use in materials modelling and computer simulation. The use of simulation software whose source code you have access to (for example, Open Source, or GNU General Public License) is a fundamental tenet of good practice, and is highly recommended [1].
