Molecular dynamics simulations are of ever growing importance in liquid crystals and soft matter; advances in hardware, software and force-fields enable simulations of unprecedented scale and duration, which often closely approximate experimental data. The radial distribution function (RDF, g(r), eq. 1) is frequently encountered in the analysis MD simulations of soft matter 𝑔(𝑟) = 𝑉 𝑁 2 ⟨∑ ∑ 𝛿(𝑟 -𝑟 𝑖𝑗 ) 𝑁 𝑖≠𝑗 𝑁 𝑖 ⟩ eq. 1
