	A tool has been developed to simplify the accelerator design process from the lattice design, through tracking simulations with engineering features, to costing the facility. The aim of this tool is to facilitate going through the design loop efficiently and thus allow engineering features to be included early on in the design process without hindering the development of the lattice design. The tool uses a spreadsheet to store information about the accelerator and can generate MADX input files, G4beamline input files and interfaces with the costing tool developed by CERN. Having one source for the information simplifies going between lattice simulations, tracking simulations and costing calculations and eliminates the possibility of introducing discrepancies in the design. The application of this tool to cost the Neutrino Factory, which is part of the IDS-NF and EUROnu studies for delivering the Reference Design Report, will be presented.

A tool has been developed to simplify the accelerator design process from the lattice design, through tracking simulations with engineering features, to costing the facility. The aim of this tool is to facilitate going through the design loop efficiently and thus allow engineering features to be included early on in the design process without hindering the development of the lattice design. The tool uses a spreadsheet to store information about the accelerator and can generate MADX input files, G4beamline input files and interfaces with the costing tool developed by CERN. Having one source for the information simplifies going between lattice simulations, tracking simulations and costing calculations and eliminates the possibility of introducing discrepancies in the design. The application of this tool to cost the Neutrino Factory, which is part of the IDS-NF and EUROnu studies for delivering the Reference Design Report, will be presented.
