Description

MedeA 3.12.0

MedeA 3.12.0: Comprehensive Materials Simulation & Machine Learning Platform

MedeA 3.12.0 is the latest major release of Materials Design's computational materials science platform, announced April 2026 . This version establishes a comprehensive machine-learned potential (MLP) ecosystem spanning training, deployment, and analysis, with new microstructure builders, expanded forcefield parameters, and enhanced property prediction modules .

Key New Features in Version 3.12.0

Machine Learning Potential (MLP) Ecosystem

 
 
Feature Description
GRACE Foundational Models Universal MLPs (GRACE-1L-OMAT, -2L-OMAT, -1L-OAM, -2L-OAM) available for immediate use in LAMMPS
VASP MLFF Export Export MLFF trained in VASP as .frc files for direct deployment in LAMMPS simulations
MLPG Enhancement Direct fitting of GRACE 1L/2L potentials within the MLPG module
Descriptor Reduction Element-reduced three-body and angular descriptors for improved MLFF efficiency
Spilling Factor QC Quality assessment based on spilling factor for MLFF reliability

New Microstructure Builders

 
 
Builder Application
High-Symmetry Grain Boundary Builder CSL database for 10 crystal lattice types (FCC, BCC, HCP, rocksalt, zincblende, wurtzite, NiAs, fluorite, simple cubic) for twist/tilt boundaries up to Σ13
Perturbation Builder Random perturbations of lattice parameters, atomic positions, and magnetic moments; ideal for ML training set generation
Amorphous Builder Enhancements Detection of large cyclic molecules
Interface Builder Updates Integration with CSL database; multiple grain boundary models built simultaneously
Microstructure Builder Insert interstitial atoms at grain boundaries; multi-slab structure creation
