The Guide_tapering Component

Models a rectangular tapered guide (many shapes)

Identification

Description

Models a rectangular guide tube centered on the Z axis. The entrance lies
in the X-Y plane.
The guide may be tapered.

The component includes a feature to read in self-defined functions for
guide tapering. Under the parameter 'option' the KEYWORD 'file=' offers
the possibility to read in parameters from an ASC-file. The file structure
is shown below in the example. It is important to know that the first
3 lines will be interpreted as comments.
Afterwards the dimension of each guide segment must be defined. The
length of each segment is constant l(i)=l/segments . The number of
segments is defined through the number of lines minus the first 3
lines taken from the Input-File.

Example Input-File:

c Guide_tapering.comp
c i = 0 - 199 segments
c h1(i)     h2(i)   w1(i)    w2(i)
0.120000 0.119850 0.020000 0.020000
0.119850 0.119700 0.020000 0.020000
0.119700 0.119550 0.020000 0.020000
0.119550 0.119400 0.020000 0.020000
0.119400 0.119250 0.020000 0.020000
0.119250 0.119100 0.020000 0.020000
...

 Example1:Guide_tapering(w1=0.1, h1=0.18, linw=0.1, loutw=0.1,
 linh=0.1, louth=0.1, l=1.5, option="elliptical", R0=0.99,
 Qcx=0.021, Qcy=0.021, alphax=6.07, alphay=6.07, W=0.003,
 mx=1, my=1, segno=800)

 Example2:Guide_tapering(w1=0, h1=0, linw=0, loutw=0,
 linh=0, louth=0, l=1.5, option="file=ownfunction.txt", R0=0.99,
 Qcx=0.021, Qcy=0.021, alphax=6.07, alphay=6.07, W=0.003,
 mx=1, my=1)

%BUGS
This component does not work with gravitation on. Use component Guide_gravity then.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
Name Unit Description Default
