This video introduces the very basics of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations—the most popular technique to simulate the dynamics of atoms and molecules. We review the concepts of interatomic potential (energy of interaction between atoms) or forcefield, molecular dynamics iterative algorithm, time discretization, and numerical integration.

sometimes we know how to run a simulation but don't know what we are exactly calculating. this simple video is great!

Could you make a video explaining (Mesh) Ewald Summation, which seems to play a big role in MD?
