The SImulation and Modeling Tool for Optical Interferometry (SIMTOI) is an open source (GPL v3) software package for simulating and modeling optical interferometric observations of complex astrophysical sources that are not easily described by analytic expressions.

NOTE SIMTOI is no longer under active development. We will; however, fix bugs when they are discovered and accept pull request that implement new features.
