simtools
simtools is a toolkit for simulations of ground-based imaging Cherenkov observatories like the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). It allows to set, derive, and manage simulation model parameters describing the observatory and to configure and execute large-scale simulation productions.

What simtools can do for you
The simtools simulation tool kit provides
- applications for complex derivation steps to derive a consistent and realistic simulation model for imaging Cherenkov telescopes like the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). This includes parameter describing the condition in the atmosphere, the ray-tracing of the optical components, photo detection, trigger, and electronic readout
- libraries for simulation model definition and management, taking into account the varying conditions of the measurements processes on different time scales
- APIs to model databases
- tools for the preparation and configuration of simulation productions
- 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
