For many technologically relevant problems in process engineering, such as absorption or distillation, simulation on the molecular level is necessary. The development of molecular models requires extensive parameter studies to be performed in computationally intensive workflows. In the present work, first, the molecular simulation code ms2 is expanded. For this, so-called internal degrees of freedom are integrated into the underlying molecular models to improve the accuracy and to extend the field of application of the classical molecular dynamics simulations. Second, the GridSFEA framework, designed to facilitate the execution, monitoring and management of such simulations in computational Grids, is complemented with a workflow functionality to support the elaboration of new molecular models. As a proof of concept, several extensive parameter studies are performed with the comfortable workflow functionality developed here.
