Cyclotron Virtual Prototyping

Virtual prototyping (VP) is a design method based on computer-aided design (CAD) technologies. VP involves working with a prototype of the entire product at all stages of development, from the early stages to completion. To implement the VP method in the cyclotron development process, we created a Matlab based platform [1] that integrates distributed VP components and provides a mechanism for their interaction. The main software components used in cyclotron development include CAD (Solidworks [2]), various CST Studio modules [3], and analysis and tracing programs that were previously developed in Matlab and are now optimized and adapted for new tasks.
