How do I simulate a diffraction pattern from my crystal?

You can simulate an x-ray or neutron powder pattern, provided that you have installed CrystalDiffract on your hard disc. You can simulate diffraction patterns from single crystals if you have installed SingleCrystal.

You can save your structure as a CrystalMaker binary file, and load this directly into CrystalDiffract; alternatively, display your structure in CrystalMaker and then simulate its diffraction patterns using either the Calculate > Diffraction Pattern > Powder or Single-Crystal commands.
