Abstract (arXiv)

Coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics extends polymer simulation beyond the scales accessible to all-atom (AA) methods, but bottom-up CG modeling is laborious. The CG resolution is a design choice, so a transferable parameter set is generally not available and the potentials are derived anew for each polymer mapping. Here we present CGMas, a multi-agent framework that automates topology construction, equilibration, mapping, potential derivation, and validation from a natural-language specification of the polymer and target resolution. A large-language-model (LLM) reasoning agent infers the AA topology from polymer name, while layered self-correction resolves physical errors common to unsaturated, heteroatom-containing, and polar polymers. Downstream agents equilibrate the system, map it onto CG representation, derive potentials through Boltzmann inversion, and benchmark the model against its atomistic reference. CGMas completed all 27 homopolymer and copolymer tasks, matched the AA density to within 5% in 22, and reduced simulation from 38-88 min to 1 min, establishing agentic LLMs as a route to automated polymer coarse-graining.
