Enabling the investigation of the evolution of structure on the atomic scale, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are chosen for modeling the behavior and precipitation of C introduced into an initially crystalline Si environment.
To be able to model systems with a large amount of atoms computational efficient classical potentials to describe the interaction of the atoms are most often used in MD studies.
For reasons of flexibility in executing this non-standard task and in order to be able to use a novel interaction potential~\cite{albe_sic_pot}, an appropriate MD code called \textsc{posic}\footnote{\textsc{posic} is an abbreviation for {\bf p}recipitation {\bf o}f {\bf SiC}} including a library collecting respective MD subroutines was developed from scratch\footnote{Source code: http://www.physik.uni-augsburg.de/\~{}zirkelfr/posic}.
