A permanent EDM of a subatomic particle violates time-reversal and parity symmetry at the same time and would be, with the currently achievable experimental accuracy, a strong indication for physics beyond the Standard Model. The JEDI-Collaboration (Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigations) in Jülich is preparing a direct EDM measurement for protons and deuterons: first at the storage ring COSY (COoler SYnchrotron) and later at a dedicated storage ring. A prototype EDM ring is an intermediate step before building the final storage ring to demonstrate sufficient beam lifetime and SCT (Spin Coherence Time) in a pure electrostatic ring as well as in a storage ring with combined electric and magnetic bending elements. In order to study the effect of E-B-deflectors on the orbit and the spin motion, the software library Bmad is used. The first results of the optics and spin simulations, with a focus on the optimization of the SCT, towards the prototype EDM ring will be discussed.}}, }
