Self-Assembly is a natural phenomenon common in many soft matter systems. It occurs when under certain conditions, from a disordered mixture of molecules an ordered structure emerges. As molecules and building blocks of soft matter are rather complex, to predict what structure will be formed is a big challenge of the Physics research on Self-Assembly. Without help of computer simulations it is rather difficult to explore experimentally a vast  parameter space in these systems. Computer simulations can recreate various experimental conditions at the same time and ruin such virtual experiments in parallel.
