The evolution of the hardware platforms, the modernization of the software tools, the access to the codes by a large number of young people and the popularization of the open source software for scientific applications drove Dr. Luca Rebuffi (ANL) and Dr. Manuel Sanchez Del Rio (ESRF) to design OASYS (ORange SYnchrotron Suite), a completely new graphical environment for modeling beamlines and X-ray experiments. The implemented software architecture allows to obtain not only an intuitive and very-easy-to-use graphical interface, but also provides high flexibility and rapidity for interactive simulations, allowing to make quick configuration changes to compare multiple beamline configurations. Its purpose is to integrate in a synergetic way the most powerful calculation engines available. OASYS integrates different simulation strategies via the implementation of adequate simulation tools for X-ray Optics (e.g. ray tracing and wave optics packages). It provides to several tools a..
