The ray-tracing code Zgoubi* has long been 6D-tracking through all possible types of fixed field rings**, including, recently, 6D transmission from injection-up to extraction-down in high power cyclotrons in the frame of ADS-Reactor R/D. This is to be added to the long exploited many other capabilities of the code as spin transport, in-flight decay, synchrotron radiation energy loss, etc. An overview will be given, including recent space-charge developments, with illustration including recent high power cyclotron applications.
