Description
The accelerator modeling ecosystem at SLAC automates much of the work involved in generating the information that feeds survey & alignment teams, engineering groups, and the controls system. Starting from the same lattice files and modeling codes used to develop Twiss optics and calculate beam properties, quantities including beam stay clears and element locations are produced. These quantities are then processed into various coordinate systems and uploaded into a central database. SLAC is in the later stages of a project to modernize this ecosystem, replacing legacy mad8-based utilities with Bmad-based utilities, and also consolidating around python-based post-processing. Here we provide an overview of this ecosystem, and steps taken to ensure that updates to the ecosystem be transparent to operations.
