Abstract	Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) is a program based on Geant4 that creates 3D radiation transport models of accelerators from a simple optical description in a vastly reduced time with great flexibility. It also uses ROOT and CLHEP to create a single simulation model that can accurately track all particles species in an accelerator to predict and understand beam losses, secondary radiation, dosimetric quantities and their origins. We present a broad overview of new features added to BDSIM in version 1.7. In particular, the ability to transform and reflect field maps as well as visualise the fields in Geant4 are presented. A new “CT” object is introduced to allow DICOM images to be used for simulations of Phantoms in proximity to a beamline. For experiments such as FASER, SHADOWS and NA62, a muon production biasing scheme has been added and is presented.
