"""Molecular Dynamics object.
Parameters:
atoms: Atoms object
The Atoms object to operate on.
timestep: float
The time step in ASE time units.
trajectory: Trajectory object or str (optional)
Attach trajectory object. If *trajectory* is a string a
Trajectory will be constructed. Default: None.
logfile: file object or str (optional)
If *logfile* is a string, a file with that name will be opened.
Use '-' for stdout. Default: None.
loginterval: int (optional)
Only write a log line for every *loginterval* time steps.
Default: 1
append_trajectory: boolean
Defaults to False, which causes the trajectory file to be
overwriten each time the dynamics is restarted from scratch.
If True, the new structures are appended to the trajectory
file instead.
dt: float (deprecated)
Alias for timestep.
