This is a common method to obtain the pressure from a general simulation (it is best suited for molecular dynamics since forces are evaluated in this case). For central interactions, one has:

where one can recognize an ideal term and another one due to the virial. The underline is an average, which would be a time average in molecular dynamics, or ensamble average in Monte Carlo; Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle d} is the dimension of the system (3 in actual world).
