Many-body correlations in Semiclassical Molecular Dynamics and Skyrme   forces for symmetric Nuclear Matter
  Constraint Molecular dynamics CoMD calculations have been performed for symmetric nuclear matter (NM) by using a simple effective interactions of the Skyrme type. The set of parameter values reproducing common accepted saturation properties of nuclear matter have been obtained for different degree of stiffness characterizing the iso-vectorial potential density dependence. A comparison with results obtained in the limit of the Semi-Classical Mean Field approximation performed using the same kind of interaction put in evidence the role played by the many-body correlations present in the model explaining also the noticeable differences obtained in the parameter values in the two cases
