The OPAL Discussion Forum

Hi Francesco, 

it should work correctly, but you'll have to wait until all particles are emitted. 

Which version of OPAL do you use? If the problem persists, then please send the input file. 

Cheers, 

Christof

Hello,

Why  the attribute WRITETOFILE=TRUE for a distribution does not seem to work? I expected to see a file in the data/ directory but nothing has appeared.

This is the command I use (I tried both TRUE and True):





Dist: DISTRIBUTION, TYPE = FLATTOP,
        SIGMAX = 0.00075,
        SIGMAY = 0.00075,
        TRISE = 6.0e-12,      
        TFALL = 6.0e-12,      
        TPULSEFWHM = 20.0e-12,
        CUTOFFLONG = 4.0,
        NBIN = 9,
        EMISSIONSTEPS = 100,
        EMISSIONMODEL = ASTRA,
        EKIN = 0.55,          
        EMITTED = True,       
        WRITETOFILE = TRUE;    //Saves the distribution to a text file

Is there anything wrong?
