gammasimtools 0.20.0

Tools for the Simulation System of the CTA Observatory

simtools

simtools is a modular toolkit for managing simulation model parameters, configuring, running, and validating simulation productions for arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes.

Documentation: simtools documentation

simtools is part of the SimPipe pipeline of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO).

Authors: see the CITATION.cff file.

Note simtools is under active development. Contact the developers before using it: [e-mail]

Features

• Simulation model libraries and management
• Database interfaces for simulation model parameters (see CTAO Simulation models)
• Tools for preparing, configuring, running, and validating simulation productions
• Applications for deriving and validating model parameters (see CTAO Model setting and validation workflows)
• Standardized interfaces and outputs independent of the simulation software (e.g., CORSIKA air shower simulations and sim_telarray telescope simulations)
• I/O and reporting tools for the simulation model and production database
