The McStas neutron ray-tracing simulation package is a versatile tool for producing accurate simulations of neutron scattering instruments at reactors, short- and long-pulsed spallation sources such as the European Spallation Source. McStas is extensively used for design and optimization of instruments, virtual experiments, data analysis and user training. McStas was founded as an scientific, open-source collaborative code in 1997.
This contribution presents the project at its current state and gives an overview in areas of design process, development strategies, user contributions, quality assurance, documentation, interoperability and synergies with the McXtrace project.
Further, main new developments in McStas 2.1 (June 2014) and McStas 2.2 (expected spring 2015) are discussed, including many new components, updated source brilliance descriptions, developments toward new tools and user interfaces, interactivity with Mantid and methods for estimating beam losses and background from neutron optics.
