Introduction

simex_platform is a platform for simulation of photon science experiments. In many ways it is similar to simS2E; in fact, it started as a clone of simS2E with an added python layer that replaces the configuration deck in simS2E. This means, all steps of the simulation and their parameters, input and output, are controlled either in a python script or interactively in a python shell. The main purpose of this modification is to make it easier for users to hook up their own codes and simulation tools by providing generic interfaces ("calculators").
