While COSY INFINITY provides powerful DA methods for the simulation of fragment separator beam dynamics, the master version of COSY does not currently take into account beam-material interactions. These interactions are key for accurately simulating the dynamics from heavy ion fragmentation and fission. In order to model the interaction with materials such as the target or absorber, much code development was needed. There were four auxiliary codes implemented in COSY for the simulation of beam-material interactions. These include EPAX for returning the cross sections of isotopes produced by fragmentation and MCNPX for the cross sections of isotopes produced by the fission and fragmentation of a 238U beam. ATIMA is implemented to calculate energy loss and energy and angular straggling. GLOBAL returns the charge state. The extended version can be run in map mode or hybrid map-Monte Carlo mode, providing an integrated beam dynamics-nuclear processes design optimization and simulation framework that is efficient and accurate. The code, its applications, and plans for large-scale computational runs for optimization of separation purity of rare isotopes at FRIB will be presented.
