# CAC: An implementation of the Concurrent Atomistic-Continuum method

Copyright © 2017-2018 Georgia Institute of Technology. All Rights Reserved.

CAC is an implementation of the concurrent atomistic-continuum (CAC) method [1] that allows for both dynamics and energy minimization of CAC models.
CAC is written in Fortran 2008. 
For a standalone tool used to build and analyze models for simulation with CAC please see the [CAC model builder tool](https://gitlab.com/aselimov/cacmb).
