 ## `SolidStateDetectors` extension
 
-LegendDataManagment provides an extension for [SolidStateDetectors](https://github.com/JuliaPhysics/SolidStateDetectors.jl). This makes it possible to create `SolidStateDetector` instances from LEGEND metadata.

+In addition, when creating a `Simulation`, all simulation functions in SolidStateDetectors.jl can be applied. As usual, all fields stored in the `Simulation` can be written and read using `LegendHDF5IO`:
+
+```julia
+using LegendDataManagement
+using SolidStateDetectors

+sim = Simulation(LegendData, "V99000A.json")

 The following code will generate an overview plot of every 5th LEGEND detector (requires the actual LEGEND metadata instead of the metadata in legend-testdata):
