MDAnalysis. MDAnalysis is primarily a library that helps you to build
11
-
your own tools but it also works very well for **interactive data
12
-
exploration** of MD data in [IPython](http://ipython.org/), in
13
-
particular within [Jupyter notebooks](https://jupyter.org/) and in
14
-
conjunction with [pandas](http://pandas.pydata.org/). MDAnalysis is
15

MDAnalysis is a powerful Python library for analyzing MD simulations. While primarily designed to help you build custom analysis tools, it also supports interactive data exploration in environments like [IPython](http://ipython.org/) and [Jupyter notebooks](https://jupyter.org/), especially when combined with [pandas](http://pandas.pydata.org/). This makes MDAnalysis an excellent choice for rapid prototyping and exploratory analysis.
