Abstract :
This paper presents the new features that have been introduced recently in DIMAD. The first is a simplified (not self consistent) simulation of transverse space charge effects. This simulation can be used in conjunction with all the tracking operations of DIMAD. The second is a new accelerating cavity, in which the accelerating field can be a function of the longitudinal coordinate. The third is the translation capability of the MAD input format to a COSY compatible input. The fourth is the creation of a COSY input file for lattices with alignment and field errors and subsequent corrections
