The external fields, such as the magnetic force, have made advances in many industrial and biotechnology applications during the past century, although the changes in the structure of materials under the impact of the electromagnetic fields have not entirely been clear yet. The molecular simulation technique by providing extensive data from the configuration and orientations of the atoms is becoming the effective useful tool for scientists in a wide range of research areas. This paper presents an extended velocity Verlet algorithm inside the Nanoscale Molecular Dynamics (NAMD) package that enhances the NAMD features with the capability to compute the magnetic field force. We described how this novel feature has been implemented inside the package. Moreover, the results are reported for the rotation of a charged particle, and the thermo-physical properties of water in the presence of a magnetic field confirming how this developed NAMD source code provides accurate measurements compared with other available data.
