Two techniques for use with SIMION [1] are presented, boundary matching and genetic optimization. The first allows systems which were previously difficult or impossible to simulate in SIMION to be simulated with great accuracy. The second allows any system to be rapidly and robustly optimized using a parallelized genetic algorithm. Each method will be described along with examples of real world applications.
