Simultipac 2.0.3

Treat data from CST Particle Studio and SPARK3D for multipactor

About this package

This package is a set of utils oriented towards multipacting analysis. In particular:

• Load parameter sweeps and PIC Position Monitor data from CST Particle Studio.
• Load results from SPARK3D.
• Post-treat electron vs time results from these tools: multipactor trend, (TODO: multipactor order).
• Post-treat CST's PIC Position Monitor:
• Distribution of emission energies.
• Distribution of impact energies.
• Distribution of impact angles.
• Visualise trajectories.

Installation
