Abstract
Simulations are of high interest in all areas of scientific research, especially for finding novel approaches or optimizing existing methods. For the young field of Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) only few quite specific simulation frameworks exist, which cover the entire process from hardware simulation and signal generation to data reconstruction and final visualization. With the presented modular simulation framework consisting of three cooperating packages, all important steps can be provided. Each package is a tool for specific purpose, Magnetic Field Simulator for signal generation, Reconstruction Framework for data reconstruction and 3D Visualization Tool for data visualization, which can be used as framework, stand-alone or in combination with third party software packages.
