Abstract :
An overview over the features of version 7 of the code COSY INFINITY is given. The code allows the computation and manipulation of maps of arbitrary order for arbitrary arrangements of fields, and it is currently distributed to about 200 registered users. We present several features of the code, among which are the conventional analysis tools including various techniques for symplectic tracking, normal form methods, hardware and reconstructive aberration correction, and achromat design. We also discuss several new techniques which include efficient methods to treat fringe fields, a variety of methods to directly use measured field data for the computation of maps, as well as the computation and analysis of spin dynamics
