Simulation software is external to simtools and used by several simtools applications. This includes the main software tools CORSIKA and sim_telarray, and several other tools listed in the following

CORSIKA#

The following executable are called in simtools from the CORSIKA package:

  • corsika: the CORSIKA air shower simulation code

sim_telarray#

The following executable are called in simtools from the sim_telarray package:

  • sim_telarray: the main ray-tracing and detector simulation code

  • testeff: telescope and camera efficiency calculation

  • rx: optical PSF calculation (optional use)

  • corsika_autoinputs: generate CORSIKA input parameters

  • pfp: sim_telarray file pre processor

  • xyzls: light source at position xyz for calibration

  • ls-beam laser light source for calibration
