a semi-empirical method for determining molecular dynamics of a system.  What you do is to move the particles via a random method.  Whether or not this new configuration is accepted depends on 1)  If the PE is not greater than before the change, it is accepted.  2)  If it is accepted, it is accepted in proportion to how much the potential change is for all the particles in the system.
