We organised a two days hands-on tutorial on three well established codes for simulating synchrotron radiation sources and beamline optics: McXtrace [1], SHADOW [2] and SRW [3]. It was given by three instructors, Erik B. Knudsen (McXtrace), Manuel Sanchez del Rio (SHADOW) and Oleg Chubar (SWR), and was followed by 26 participants.
