A suite of software tools has been developed to facilitate the development of apparatus using a radiation transport simulation code PHITS by enabling 4D visualization (3D space and time) and quantitative analysis of so-called dieaway plots. To deliver useable tools as soon as possible, the existing software was utilized as much as possible; ParaView will be used for the 4D visualization of the results, whereas the analyses of dieaway plots will be done with ROOT toolkit with a tool named "diana". To enable 4D visualization using ParaView, a suite of tools (angel2vtk, DispDCAS1, CamPos) have been developed for the conversion of the data format to the one which can be read from ParaView and to ease the visualization.
