SNAPsim is a software package used to simulate optical-telescope data. The software allows user control over properties of the observatory, telescope, and camera; the universe and the astronomical sources within; and the taken exposures. SNAPsim includes supernova-cosmology analysis tools. SNAPsim is used to compare the dark-energy-parameter precision and accuracy of various strawman supernova surveys, and to provide requirements and optimize the Supernova / Acceleration Probe (SNAP) experiment. This poster describes the structure, usage, and flexibility of SNAPsim. Results from example simulation studies are also presented.
