Hello Didier,

I have a question about the field map of the elements, implemented into the WinTrace tracking with the collective effects.
Is it done in the current version?

I need to track particles through the element with the cylindrical field map (a static magnetic field map with the following data: r, z, Br, Bphi, Bz ). Can I misalign such element?

Dear Alexander,

If you aren't in the case of Field map curving reference trajectory (SUPERPOSE_MAP_OUT command), collective effect (I suppose space-charge) and misalignement features are implemented in the current TraceWin version.

Regards,

Didier

Thanks.

What is the required format for the field map? Can you send show some example (or refer to the manual)?

Alexander

You have some examples (see menu "Help" -> "Examples") of using the field map, such as LBE1.ini or Field_map_dipole.ini. But none using a cylindrical file map format. And on my side, I never use this kind of field_map.
Anyway, the syntax is available in the manual, see the FIELD_MAP item -> "the description of file formats", or directly in the chapter "Magnetic or electric field map
