β¦ Synopsis
An efficient energy-based method is presented for recognizing stable clusters in molecular dynamics simulations of interacting particles. This method is able to identify and characterize the average fragment distribution well before spatial separation takes place and provides an improvement upon the results obtained with simulated annealing calculations.
