Tested Orb-v3 on FLiBe molten salt.
RDF matches published AIMD data, and the total neutron structure factor aligns with experiment.

I took me, all in all, 6 hours to debug my code, identify what was causing it to fail, narrow it down to a simple reproducer, play with many parameters to understand what is happening, and write a thoughtful bug report. github.com/openmm/openm...

#compchem ASE help: I'm trying to create simple examples of MD of zeolites for my students. I thought it would be easy to use ASE, but not at all: it can't do Coulombic or Buckingham interactions. What would be the easiest way to use a “real” force field in ASE? (I'm thinking BKS)
