nuwan-d/LAMMPS_tutorials_for_short_courses

This project is a collection of educational scripts and input files for short courses. With 45 stars and 22 forks over nearly six years, it serves a specific academic niche but lacks any technical moat. The code consists primarily of standard LAMMPS input patterns and MATLAB post-processing scripts. There is no proprietary logic or unique software infrastructure here; it is a repository of domain-specific knowledge shared for teaching purposes. Competitive risk from frontier labs is low because the domain (molecular dynamics for material science) is specialized, but displacement risk is moderate to high due to the evolution of LLMs (like GPT-4 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet) which can now generate highly accurate LAMMPS scripts from natural language descriptions, effectively making static tutorial repositories less valuable. The zero velocity indicates the project is currently unmaintained, likely tied to a specific past curriculum.
