BDSIM
BDSIM (Beam Delivery Simulation) is a program that uses a suite of high energy physics software including Geant4, CLHEP & ROOT to build a 3D model of an accelerator and simulate the passage of particles through both the vacuum and the material of the accelerator itself seamlessly.

This is a tutorial about installing and using BDSIM. BDSIM is installed on the HEP Linux cluster at UCL. You will need an account on that cluster to be able to use this software, run example tutorials and create your own simulations.
Running BDSIM Simulations
In order to run BDSIM simulations, you will either need to download and install the software yourself or make use of the existing installation on the UCL HEP Linux cluster.
In order to use the UCL HEP Linux cluster, you will need a HEP account: please contact Dr. Simon Jolly for more details.
Required Software
BDSIM requires the following software to be installed:
- Recent compiler with full C++11 support - proven compiler versions are GCC v4.9 or higher, or Clang 6 or higher.
- CMake v2.8.12 or higher
- CLHEP v2.1.3.1 or higher
- ROOT v6.x or higher
- Geant4 v4.10 or higher
- Flex v2.5.37 or higher
- Bison v2.3 or higher
These are all installed on the UCL HEP cluster.
