Summary We propose a mean-field approach for calculating the thermodynamic properties of complex solids. We illustrate this method by applying it to a simple mono-atomic solid. A comparison with solid Argon allows us to evaluate the method for accuracy and computational efficiency. Applications to more complex materials such as macromolecular systems are discussed.
