N-MODY 


N-MODY (N-body simulations in MOdified DYnamics) is a numerical code developed by 

P. Londrillo (INAF-OABO), C. Nipoti (Bologna University) & L. Ciotti (Bologna University).  

N-MODY is a parallel particle-mesh code for N-body simulations of collisionless systems 

in MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics; Bekenstein & Milgrom 1984). 

The code is written in FORTRAN 90 and in its parallel version it uses MPI routines. 

It can be used also as modified potential solver, solving the MOND field equation for given 

density distributions. N-MODY works also as standard Newtonian N-body code and Poisson solver. 

See Londrillo & Nipoti 2009 for more information on N-MODY.
