\section{Introduction}
The computer program \texttt{simex\_platform} \cite{simex_github} is a modular
software environment for the simulation of experiments at advanced laser light
software environment for the simulation of experiments at advanced light
sources. Users can assemble a virtual experiment through the combination
of suitable simulation codes for the various instrumental parts of the
experiment: the light source (e.g. a synchrotron, an x-ray free
electron laser), propagation of radiation from the source to the
electron laser, laser), propagation of radiation from the source to the
point of interaction with a sample or target, interaction of the light with the sample,
propagation of the scattered and trasmitted light after the
interaction, and detection. We have equipped \texttt{simex\_platform}
propagation of the scattered and/or trasmitted light and particles, after the
interaction, and photon and/or particle detection. We have equipped \texttt{simex\_platform}
with a number of such codes and user interfaces to ease setup and execution of
simulation runs. A lightweight abstraction mechanism and interface templates
makes the integration of further simulation codes straightforward, so users can
