Hi Youna,

 

could you send me the input file and field maps?

If I switch ZSTART and ZSTOP, zstart still stays 0. What was your TRACK command  that worked?

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Youna Park

Hi Youna,

 

did you try to set ZSTART=5.5 in the TRACK command? 

 

Cheers, 

Christof

Hello Andreas,

 

I forward the OPAL mailing list this inquiry about backtracking. 

I don't have a figure to show since the output was not produced, but 

this is the output log (opal.o3447132 in the zip file):

The log says my version is 2.2.0. 

I don't know if my input was in the way that is supposed to be, what I wrote was the following: 

 

Thank you, 

 

Youna

Hi Stephen, please send the problems to  opal AT lists.psi.ch. Besides the input files it 

would also be important to have the OPAl version together with some plots of the 

results/problems. This ensures that you get the fastest response. 

 

Cheers A

Hi Andreas,

 

I hope you're staying well during all this.

 

I passed along the OPAL examples for Sirepo to our development team, so they should end up in the Examples directory soon.

 

Chris Hall and I have been working with Youna Park (UCLA grad student, cc'd) for modeling an injector + APS linac for an experiment. Youna has been doing backtracking work, but ran into a hitch with OPAL where we are not seeing files dumped after backtracking from the end of the gun to the beginning. I have attached the simulation files.

 

Any idea what the trouble might be? If you have any detailed questions about the simulation, it's probably best to ask Youna.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Cheers,
