The kinetic Slat Assembly Model is a more physically realistic model of the self-assembly of slats as defined in the Abstract Slat Assembly Model (aSAM). It is based off of the Kinetic Tile Assembly Model (kTAM).

Simulators for the kSAM

SlatTAS is a Python-based, graphical simulator for the aSAM and kSAM. It includes source code, and it supports simulation of the abstract Slat Assembly Model (aSAM) as well as the kinetic Slat Assembly Model (kSAM).(The latest version can be found at the bottom of the list of packages.)

RodSim is a *much* faster simulator for the aSAM and kSAM written in C++. It does not have any user interface and is completely run from the command line. However, the assemblies that it outputs can be opened and viewed in SlatTAS. (The latest version can be found at the bottom of the list of packages.)
