Zusammenfassung:Handling of polarization became very important in simulations of neutron scattering. One of the very comprehensive and open-source neutron simulation package, VITESS, has been intensely involved in polarized neutron simulations. Several examples will be shown here. Another similar package NISP also contains polarization tools. McStas has implemented an initial set of routines handling polarization, as our examples will also show.
