Shape2SAS allows the user to simulate solution small-angle scattering data and pair distance distributions from user-defined shapes. The program is available as a web application, and is useful for teaching and tutorials, as well as for checking the validity of analytical form factors. Shape2SAS is a web application that allows researchers and students to build intuition about and understanding of small-angle scattering. It is available at https://somo.chem.utk.edu/shape2sas. The user defines a model of arbitrary shape by combining geometrical subunits, and Shape2SAS then calculates and displays the scattering intensity and the pair distance distribution, as well as a visualization of the user-defined shape. Simulated data with realistic noise are also generated. Here, it is demonstrated how Shape2SAS can calculate and display the different scattering patterns for various geometrical shapes, such as spheres and cylinders. It is also shown how the effect of structure factors can be visualized. Finally, it is indicated how multi-contrast particles can readily be generated, and how the calculated scattering may be used to validate and visualize analytical models generated in analysis software for fitting small-angle scattering data.
