I am a researcher at the University of Michigan interested in simulating paracrystals. I have been experimenting with SasView, and I have generated diffraction patterns from the paracrystal models. I was wondering if it was possible to extract the coordinates of the lattice sites from these models? Do the models generate the diffraction pattern by simulating a paracrystal and then taking the fourier transform, or does it take an "ideal" paracrystal and calculate the diffraction patterns analytically.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Jeremy
