A successful scheme : The authors′ hybrid modelling scheme can link one or more molecular‐mechanics‐based simulation techniques to one or more quantum mechanical atomistic simulation techniques in a seamless manner. This scheme is tested by studying the failure of a silicon nanobar under tensile stress and allows the study of brittle fracture in silicon (see simulation snapshot of the opening (111) ${{[1\bar 10]}}$ crack system).
