Dear opal users

I am using opal for a linear accelerator . in this way I only use a gaussian electric field for a RF cavity . but I get different energy in 0.5 MeV in 10 Mev acceleration between two code (opal =10.7 MeV and in dynac(cern)=11.3MeV. I have ome question:

first I want to know what algorithm the OPAL use for beam dynamic in cavity? (ttf,or..)

second this different is normal or not?

best wish
