VOTCA-CSG is a collection of tools, which help you to develop coarse grained interaction potential from atomistic reference simulations using force-matching, boltzmann inversion and others.

Further information on VOTCA can be found at http://www.votca.org

The development of VOTCA is mainly funded by academic research grants. If you use this package, please cite the following VOTCA papers:
