simion at asms 2006 / seattle

[David Manura]

As usual, SIS will be at the ASMS meeting, which is next week in Seattle, Washington. Last year, we announced our acquisition of the SIMION development license from Idaho National Labs, and so this year, we are formally announcing the production release of SIMION 3D 8, which is shipping end of Q3 2006:

 

SIMION 3D 8 Announcement

http://www.simion.com/news/20060527.pdf

 

In summary, SIMION 3D 8 is a mix of user interface improvements, new capabilities, and performance enhancements. Previously referred to as 7.1, its list of committed changes is now substantial enough to warrant the 8.0 version number. Like the SL Toolkit, and unlike the static 7.0, 8.0 is planned to be continuously enhanced for a year or more, with free upgrades downloadable from simion.com, to incorporate additional capabilities users have requested. The latest 8.0beta version will be there for demonstration.

 

At this time, we'd like to also recognize the following ASMS posters and sessions related to SIMION. ASMS can be a good place to meet other users doing SIMION simulations and solving related problems in particle optics. Abstracts and schedules on these items can be obtained from the following ASMS web page: ( http://www.asms.org/Default.aspx?tabid=54 ) by doing a "full text search" for "SIMION".
