This package contains a set of commands that serve as a wrapper on the
`Open Knowledgebase of Interatomic Models (OpenKIM) <https://openkim.org>`_
repository of interatomic models (IMs)
enabling compatible ones to be used in LAMMPS simulations.
This includes :doc:`kim_init and kim_interactions <kim_commands>`
commands to select, initialize and instantiate the IM, and a
:doc:`kim_query <kim_commands>` command to perform web queries
for material property predictions of OpenKIM IMs.
