[Ifeffit] Athena open data project but not shown the curve

Hi Carlos,

Please clarify somethings for me regarding your inquiry.
You have a structural model and you have data.
You calculated a FEFF simulation of your structural model.
You did not use the FEFFNNNN.dat files to try to fit the model to your data,
but instead just did a comparison of the simulated chi(k), presumably
with just some default settings in FEFF.inp in addition to your 
structural model.
Is that correct?

Generally, it is the fit to the data that gives one feedback on the validity
of the structural model (GIGO rules apply).

If you have a model, then you have a model coordination number and can use
a program (e.g. Artemis) to refine amplitude, distance, 
mean-square-relative displacement
and energy shift. Do you need explanations of what these parameters 
represent?

So, to address what you were wondering, I believe the answer is 
yes...you need to actually
do a fit, and the goal isn't to get the obtained spectrum to look like 
your simulation.
Data is sacred. The goal is find a model that best reproduces the data 
(within a confidence
level governed by the goodness of fit).

regards,
Robert
