DICE:
In collaboration with Dr. K. Coutinho we have developed the Monte Carlo program, DICE, that performs metropolis Monte Carlo as well as reverse Monte Carlo and thermodynamic perturbation theory. It also performs solvation shell analysis, hydrogen bonds investigations and interfaces with several quantum chemical programs for subsequent quantum mechanical calculations.
