Dear all,
A question about, in MD, in which situation you can obtain a structure with lowest energy.

Any dynamical simulation has a lowest-energy structure... whether this means anything is another question.

Can MD simulate the kinetics process, and obtain a stuctrue with the lowest activation barriers?

Mapping free-energy surfaces where bonds are not made or broken can be done with conventional MD.

Typically, are the structures we find with MD determined mainly by thermodynamics or by kinetics ?

MD samples the free-energy surface. Its shape and the temperature determine what structures might be found, and in what proportions.
