Guide_tapering ComponentModels 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. The guide can be made curved both horizontally and vertically (not shown in 3d view), and m-coating, when set negative, is varied in 1/width. 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.
