This repository contains the Swoose module of the SCINE open-source quantum chemistry software. It provides functionalities for treating large molecular systems with self-parametrizing system-focused atomistic models. This includes the automated parametrization of such models and applying them in single point calculations as well as structure optimizations or molecular dynamics simulations. Furthermore, this module also provides QM/MM hybrid models.

For instructions on how to install and use Swoose as well as for a detailed
documentation of the entire functionality of Swoose, please consult the user
manual found in the manual directory in the repository.
Alternatively the manual can also be found on the official GitHub website and
