DL_POLY is a general purpose serial and parallel molecular dynamics simulation package developed at Daresbury Laboratory by W. Smith, T.R. Forester and I.T. Todorov. DL_POLY employs an interesting set of units which have molecular relevance:

physical quantity symbol unit value
time seconds (picoseconds)
length metres (Angstroms)
mass kilograms (amu)
charge Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle 1.60218\times 10^{-19}} Coulombs (electron charge)
energy Joules = 10 J mol
pressure Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle 1.66054\times 10^{7}} Pascal = 166.054 bar
Planck constant
Boltzmann constant
