Effective and accurate computer simulations are highly important in\naccelerator design and production. The most difficult and important task in\ncyclotron development is magnetic field simulations. It is necessary to achieve\nthe accuracy of the model that is higher than the tolerance for the magnetic\nfield in the real magnet. An accurate model of the magnet and other systems of\nthe cyclotron allows us to perform beam tracking through the whole accelerator\nfrom the ion source to extraction. While high accuracy is necessary in the late\nstages of research and development, high performance of the simulations and\nability to swiftly analyze and apply changes to the project play a key role in\nthe early stages of the project. Techniques and algorithms for high accuracy\nand performance of the magnet simulations have been created and used for the\ndevelopment of the SC202 cyclotron for proton therapy, which is under\nproduction by collaboration between JINR (Dubna, Russia) and ASIPP (Hefei,\nChina).\n
