This method of parallel computing into nanoindentation molecular dynamics simulation (MDS), the author uses a nine-node parallel computer and takes the single crystal aluminum as the experimental example, to implement the large-scale process simulation of nanoindentation. Compared the simulation results with experimental results is to verify the reliability of the simulation. The method improves the computational efficiency and shortens the simulation time and the expansion of scale simulation can significantly reduce the impact of boundary conditions, effectively improve the accuracy of the molecular dynamics simulation of nanoindentation.

The work in the optimization of the simulation of nanoindentation based on the molecular dynamics was mainly introduced in this paper. One optimization method, freeze atoms method was proposed according to the characteristics of nanoindentation process itself, then did the simulation calculation through the use of freeze atoms method and the traditional calculation method, It was found that the difference between simulation results and experimental results of hardness decreased gradually with enlarge the scale of molecular dynamics simulation (with increase of the indentation depth), from 32.39% of 5nm decreased to 14.6% of 25nm. By comparison, it was found that the optimized algorithm could improve the efficiency of simulation in large-scale molecular dynamics simulation., confirmed the correctness and effectiveness of freeze atoms method.
