CCL: MM/MD program for Windows PC



I need something which students and teachers with no professional chemistry
 background could use as demo lessons of "virtual chemistry". Like a
 virtual
 lab. The best analogy is chemistry demonstration in the class by mixing
 some liquids with a visual result: color change, gas or sediment, etc. In
 this case the visual effects would be conformation changes or formation of
 a molecular cluster (temperature down) or cluster evaporation (temperature
 up). There are plenty movies on youtube of any level of complexity but they
 would not provide a hands-on experience and ability to change some
 parameters to get feeling of doing a "chemistry experiment".
