Description

McStas sample component for the NCrystal scattering library.
Find more information at the NCrystal wiki.
In particular, browse the available datafiles at Data-library
and read about the format of the configuration string expected in
the "cfg" parameter at Using-NCrystal.

NCrystal is available under the Apache 2.0 license. Depending on the configuration choices, optional NCrystal modules under different licenses might be enabled, see here for more details. Note also that for more complicated geometries, it might be desirable to use NCrystal via the McStas Union components instead.

This NCrystal_sample component used to be shipped with NCrystal itself, but starting with McStas 3.2 it is shipped along with McStas itself (accordingly the components version number is reset to 1.0.0 to avoid confusion). As engine it will use whichever NCrystal installation is available and associated with the "ncrystal-config" command.
