Dear Didier, many thanks for your quick feedback, I appreciate that! I agree with you that running 80 simulations in parallel would be absolutely nonsense, but I guess that maybe around 4 or 5 simulations in parallel could be convenient with the appropriate task manager. This would not speed up the ...

Dear Didier, I am currently focusing on beam-transport optimization tasks. I have access to a virtual workstation with a substantial number of CPU cores, but I am wondering if this will represent any advantage compared to a regular laptop with 8 cores. According to a previous post ( https://dacm-cod...

Just for the record: the option Ka=2 to implement an aperture map with rectangular apertures is available from TW version 2.25.0.1 onward.

Many thanks for the quick reply! I have marked your last post as SOLVED, before testing the solution... When I put Ka=2 I don't see the expected behavior. I attach a minimal example. Do I need to update the TraceWin version? Or am I still doing something wrong? Apologizes for the confusion and best ...

Dear Didier, many thanks for your reply. I think you answered most of my questions. However, I still don't understand this: A new FIELD_MAP option (see FIELD_MAP manual) lets you select an elliptical or rectangular aperture for the 1D aperture field map. When you refer to 1D aperture field map , do ...

Dear colleagues, I need to introduce a series of rectangular apertures into a sequence of superposed field maps. To my understanding there are two ways of doing this: 1) Using FIELD_MAP with the geometry parameter of a 3D aperture map (10000). 2) Setting the aperture flag (Ka) of the first FIELD_MAP...
