  NESTOR is Compton X-ray source that is under commissioning in NSC KIPT. One of the main parts of the facility is the middle energy storage ring (40-225 MeV). The storage ring has comprehensive lattice to provide low emittance, low beam size in the interaction point and big value of the energy acceptance. One of the NESTOR storage ring lattice feature is use of bending magnets of 0.5 m radius with combined focusing function. It leads to increasing of 3D magnetic field effects on electron beam dynamics. After NESTOR magnetic element manufacturing characteristics of element magnetic fields were measured and the effect of the real magnetic field distribution on beam dynamics was calculated. As a result, to provide project X-ray source characteristics the parameters of NESTOR storage ring lattice should be modified. The second reason for the lattice modification was the desire to increase the interaction point straight section length. The results of the beam dynamics simulation after lattice modification and optimization show that the storage ring will provide all project electron beam parameters. The results of the electron beam simulations are presented in the paper.
