GROningen MOlecular Simulation (GROMOS) is the name of a force field for molecular dynamics simulation, and a related computer software package. Both are developed at the University of Groningen, and at the Computer-Aided Chemistry Group[1] at the Laboratory for Physical Chemistry[2] at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). At Groningen, Herman Berendsen was involved in its development.[3]

The united atom force field was optimized with respect to the condensed phase properties of alkanes.
