Why another simulation?

• OptiM – fast, interactive, design, matrix based 0th order design tool, symplectic soft edge solenoids, very good at tuning (free)

• GPT – good at tracking ($)

• G4beamline – tracking, Geant4 particle decays & interactions, energy depositions, showers, etc., not so good at tuning (free & open source)
