Simulation tools and applications for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTAO).

simtools provides:

  • libraries for simulation model definition and management

  • model database interfaces

  • tools for the preparation and configuration of simulation productions

  • applications for simulation model parameter derivation and validation

  • standardized interfaces and data products independent of the underlying simulation software (e.g., CORSIKA, sim_telarray)

  • I/O and reporting tools for the MC simulation model parameter and production database

simtools is one part of the CTAO Simulation Pipeline, which consist of the following components:
