A request for information is being issued for X-ray tomography software equipped with advanced simulation capabilities. The software should simulate a variety of laboratory transmission and reflection sources, accommodating different geometries and vendor systems. An emphasis will be placed on solutions that offer the ability to simulate synchrotron setups, alongside laboratory-based configurations.

Key functional requirements include simulation of various detector types such as flat panel detectors and optical camera-based detectors, control over source spot size, and adjustment of detector signal-to-noise ratio and image sharpness to match experimental data quality. The software should support the import of custom surface meshes, making it adaptable for diverse research needs.

Higher consideration will be given to platforms offering a Python-based API and robust scripting capabilities to simulate scan variations, such as changes in source spot size, position, or sample drifting. These features are essential for generating representative datasets under variable acquisition conditions encountered in laboratory and synchrotron environments.
