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. Contributors: see the Contributors page.
Note simtools is under active development. Contact the developers before using it: simtools-developer@desy.de
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
Quick Start
For users:
pip install gammasimtools
Copy .env_template to .env and update the file to set up your environment.
For developers:
git clone https://github.com/gammasim/simtools.git
cd simtools
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# rehash (to avoid shell mixup in certain envs)
pip install -e '.[tests,dev,doc]'
