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, computer simulation and/or visualisation. 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].
