The SHARK-VIS Simulation Code (SSC) is an IDL-based code based upon the PROPER optical propagation library for the simulation of the instrument perfoemances under different seeing conditions.

The software was developed in the framework of the SHARK-VIS instrument design, and the first release was in 2013. The results of the code were validated by using on-sky data acquired in 2015 with the SHARK forerunner experiment at LBT.  

For more information about the code and the instrument please refer to:
