Since the beginning of the joint US-UK CCP-SAS endeavour there was a desire to cater to, at least, the fields of biological and soft condensed matter scattering. Initial progress in in the collaborative project had a bias towards the analysis of biological systems, driven, in part, by the low barrier to obtaining initial trajectories for molecular dynamics simulations based on atomic models obtained via crystallographic investigations.

Historically, for soft matter systems, no such ‘springboard’ existed presenting a large barrier towards adoption, however, more recently advances have been made in this area. This talk will present progress made with one such endeavour currently under development as part of a collaborative project between the Diamond and ISIS central facilities and the Daresbury Computing Laboratory
