TRY: A computer program for crystal structure analysis and refinement
TRY is an interactive computer program which helps in crystal structure analysis of hard
problems, with many atoms and few diffraction data, from the early stages (getting the
correct model by trial), to the refinement stage. Studies of polycrystalline materials, especially polymers,
either based on powder or on fiber diffraction data, are often “hard”.
TRY has been conceived especially for studying polymers; it is anyway a general purpose
program. Structure description is based not on the atomic coordinates, but on
the internal parameters, always chosen within a non redundant coordinate
system.
TRY runs on PC with Windows 98/XP operating system.
