This is an experimental module containing helper functions and classes for linac and ring simulations. Right now there are just a few things:
AccActionContainer(terminal output + output file).Another idea is to have an
orbit.sim.Modelclass which stores anAccLatticeandBunch. Helper methods could be used to add space charge nodes, apertures, diagnostics, etc. --- things that could take multiple lines in PyORBIT but are done routinely. Subclasses ofModelcould be used to represent more complicated machines like the SNS Ring or Lattice, which may need to store data in addition to theAccLatticeobject.I'm marking this as a draft if people have other ideas, and to discuss whether or not this is worth adding to PyORBIT.
