I'm basically looking to do what Maurik suggested in his follow-up e-mail. lcsim might be a good place to start with generating some simple stdHEP files, so if there are any examples on how to do this, that would be helpful. How complicated a beam can lcsim generate? For the stdHEP files, Maurik has asked me to work on figuring out how they are structured, so I was hoping that a library of some sort exists to manipulate them in our software. Does SLIC or one of the parts of the code use a library you could point me to?
