UrQMD (Ultra relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics) is a fully integrated Monte Carlo simulation package for Proton+Proton, Proton+nucleus and nucleus+nucleus interactions. UrQMD has many applications in particle physics, high energy experimental physics and engineering, shielding, detector design, cosmic ray studies, and medical physics.

UrQMD is available in as open source Fortran code.fact|date=October 2008

UrQMD is developed using the FORTRAN language. Under Linux the g77 compiler is necessary to build and run the program.

The UrQMD model is part of the GEANT4 simulation package.
