Howto discussions

These doc pages describe how to perform various tasks with LAMMPS, both for users and developers. The glossary website page also lists MD terminology with links to corresponding LAMMPS manual pages. The example input scripts included in the examples dir of the LAMMPS distribution and highlighted on the Examples doc page also show how to setup and run various kinds of simulations.
