I meant computationally as in are they much harder to predict and simulate ?

Was specifically thinking of quasicrystalline materials and not amorphous. I know some of them have very unconventional properties so I figured they might be useful here. I don't think any of them are considered polymers but I could be wrong.

For example (no personal connection):

Wouldn't they require a totally different type of algorithm given that they often contain both a large number of atoms and odd cell size ? And the more dimensionally complex maths
