Question about mutipole component at dipole
Posted: Tue 26 May 2026 09:52
Dear all
I want to study the effects of higher-order multipole components in a bending magnet by systematically varying them.
I noticed that the standard BEND element properties don't seem to support direct multipole inputs, and the error definitions don't quite cover what I need.
Is my only option to use a 2D/3D field map (FIELD_MAP / B_MAP) for the dipole? Or is there a way to overlay a MULTIPOLE element at the same location as the BEND, or perhaps use a different element type altogether?
Best regards
