Facts

Website: simion.com
Price: From $595/yr (lower tiers unpriced)
Free trial: Not stated
Analysis and integrations: SIMION can record flight parameters to delimited text files and its programming features can export data to programs such as Excel through a COM interface.
Applications: The maker lists uses including mass spectrometers, ion traps, RF quadrupoles, ICR cells, ion sources, and detector optics.
Demo: A demo is available by request; it limits saving and refining custom geometries and is mainly for exploring the interface and existing examples.
Field solving: It supports electrostatic field solving in 2D and 3D and describes arrays up to almost 20 billion points on 64-bit systems with sufficient RAM.
Geometry and programming: Geometry options include a 3D editor, STL CAD import, GEM text files, and programmatic manipulation using languages including Perl, Python, C++, and Lua.
Licensing: The ordering page says each single license generally allows one user or one computer, at the purchaser’s option.
Maker: The SIMION site identifies Adaptas Solutions, LLC and IMI Adaptas in its copyright and contact footer.
Particle tracing: Particle tracing includes relativistic corrections and variable-step Runge–Kutta, and the maker says millions of particles can be handled.
RF and magnetic fields: SIMION supports low-frequency time-dependent or RF fields and magnetic fields, while its quasistatic approximation does not simulate much higher frequencies or radiation effects.
Security and privacy: The demo request page says submitted information is used only to reply to the current SIMION inquiry and not to send further unsolicited emails.
Support: Support options include online documentation, an open users group, and phone and email support; the maker describes included support as limited and basic.
Updates: The product page says one year of maintenance is included upon purchase and upgrades are electronic downloads through the software’s Check for Updates button.
