1) New in Version 3.01.01 (FS) (slides in
ppt)
THIN SOLENOID added in TWISS (FS). Waiting for special requirements by Frascati.
MAKETHIN: HB prefers edge focussing of dipoles to be modelled by the user
(dipedge element),
rather than making the makethin module even more complex. A warning message
has now been included to tell the user to do so.
INPUT DECODING: HG has implemented a solution to detect input errors like "a = 2 b"
(instead of "a = 2*b"), and issue a warning message. Unfortunately we don't have sufficient ressources to
cover other types of mistakes.
HG confirms that
while loop and
macro
definitions must be terminated with semicolons. The Web pages have been updated.
WINDOWS VERSION: After the meeting J.Jowett informed us that his
Windows version 3.01.01 is now available.
2) PTC (FS) (see above slides)
New program structure. Acceleration is being included.
Work on matching still going on.
Documentation available here
3) A.O.B.
An updated list of Module Keepers (requested by FT) will be made available.
Eric McIntosh joined us for a small drink. He announced that he is retiring
at the end of this year.
