I figured out what was causing the segmentation errors...it has nothing to do with Windows vs Linux. The .sh batch files as written in the documentation contain two typos (see below). In both cases, the quote should be inside the closing parentheses, not outside. Can these be fixed? Josh DocCorrecti...

I'm not sure if this is relevant to this issue, but I should note that I use TraceWin on a Windows computer, but my local cluster is composed of Linux computers. When I tried to run a simple test simulation using the TraceWin linux executable, it says it has limited functionality (i.e. only up to 20...

Hi Didier, When I try to run an error study on my local Linux cluster, even with only 10 particles, 1 run, 1 step, and a single core, I get a segmentation violation error when I run my error study. The error log shows a repeated error. I am able to connect to the cluster fine -- I tried using "Test ...

Hi Didier,

One other thing: I was wondering why at certain points along the linac, most notably around z=4.62 m and z=16.4 m, the k0 phase advance is calculated as 0? These seem to roughly coincide with the last elements in sections 1 and 2 in my linac.

Thanks,

Josh

Dear Didier,

I tried deleting and redownloading the Tracewin.exe file...I guess it got corrupted somehow. I get the correct plots now.

Thanks!

Josh

Hi Didier, I'm not sure how you got those charts. When I try to plot the deg/m phase advances (abscissa=meter, ordinate=meter, phase advance = structure or beam), I get the following plots. I've also attached the associated ascii files. Did you modify the files in some way to get them to plot correc...

Dear Didier, For some reason, the phase advance charts for my linac do not seem to plot past z=57 m correctly. It might have something to with a ~short transport section that starts around there, but I'm not sure. What do you think is going on? I have attached the phase advance plots below. I will s...

Excellent! This works. Thank you so much!

Dear Didier,

1. Excellent!
2. My goal is to do parameter scans where I'd be running TraceWin many times and extracting phase advance data for each run. Would I be able to do this quickly in the GUI version? If not, could this be done for the non-GUI version?

Thanks,

Josh

Dear Didier, I looked at the underlying data for the two plots. From what I can tell (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the "structure" plot contains the phase advances without space charge and the "beam" plot contains phase advances with space charge. The variables in the two plots are different...
