Bend and Edge parameters

[FrancescoS]

Dear Didier,

I have a question on the parameters to be used for edge and bend elements.
Both of them require a parameter R (aperture) and edge requires a parameter G (Total gap of the magnet).
Could you please explain what is the difference?
I would say that G represent the distance between the poles, and R the aperture on the radial plane (for an horizontal bend), but I am not sure my interpretation is correct

Thanks a lot for your answer

Dear Francesco,

I think so, but the best way to be sure is to transport a large beam inside and see the shape of the surviving particles in XY phase space.
