We recently added the capability to save and to load plot views (discussed in a previous post) to our two-dimensional TriComp field programs (EStat, PerMag, EMP, Nelson, TDiff, Pulse, RFE2 and WaveSim). In the interactive environment, the Save view command generates a formatted text file FPrefix.FPV where FPrefix is a descriptive name assigned by the user. [...]
Recently, a GamBet user reported calculations where the code violated conservation of energy by several orders of magnitude. This is the type of statement that generally catches my attention, so I decided to investigate the issue. An inspection of his input files showed that he was using a bremsstrahlung forcing factor of 1000. If I were [...]
The two primary data outputs of our GamBet code are 1) the deposited energy distribution and 2) the particle escape list. The escape file contains the parameters of electron, photons and positrons that leave the solution volume. This information may be displayed and analyzed with GenDist, our interactive distribution utility. The information is useful for investigating [...]
Among available packages for Monte Carlo simulations of electrons and X-rays in matter, GamBet has several unique capabilities:
Definition of 3D geometries in an interactive graphical-user-interface with the option for import from SolidWorks.
Dose records on conformal 3D meshes for accuracy
Option to add 3D electric and magnetic fields from HiPhi and Magnum
Import of electron distributions from Trak and [...]
In a previous posting, I described our plan to add automatic movie-generation capabilities to our time-domain codes. We have completed and tested the feature in the 2D TriComp codes TDiff (dynamic heat transport), Pulse (magnetic-field diffusion) and EMP (time-domain electromagnetic radiation). The plots show contour lines of temperature in TDiff, lines of magnetic flux density (B) [...]
