This work demonstrates the use, and the limitations, of virtual experiments with applications to a liquid He4 ultra-cold neutron moderator study, a liquid Indium neutron inelastic experiment, and a neutron Rietveld refinement methodology. Extension to other topics are discussed. The main tools used for this study are McStas and iFit .
