Hi Andreas,

I guess that she means a field map which expects real and imaginary component in separate columns. This should be fairly simple to implement but it's not planned yet.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation.

Yes, I was looking at that page of the manual.

And no current plans to add a general field map reader / element, right?

At the moment there are no such plans. I am also not understand the “general field map reader”.

Do you mean a reader based on Fourier coefficients?

Hi all, 

I’m trying to model 3 m long traveling wave structures, and wanted to confirm something.

The field map should only represent 1 cell? And OPAL will repeat that cell?

Yess that’s correct and described in the Manual: Elements section https://gitlab.psi.ch/OPAL/Manual-2.0/wikis/elements at 1.16.

i.e. there’s no way to put in the field and phase information (real and imaginary)?

No I am afraid not

Thanks for the double check!
