Description

This is simple tool to compute SANS spectra using Debye formula It currently uses topology file (since it need to assigne element for each atom)

Parameters:

-pr Computes normalized g(r) function averaged over trajectory

-prframe Computes normalized g(r) function for each frame

-sq Computes SANS intensity curve averaged over trajectory

-sqframe Computes SANS intensity curve for each frame

-startq Starting q value in nm

-endq Ending q value in nm

-qstep Stepping in q space

Note: When using Debye direct method computational cost increases as 1/2 * N * (N - 1) where N is atom number in group of interest

WARNING: If sq or pr specified this tool can produce large number of files! Up to two times larger than number of frames!
