Beam Optics Analysis

Calabazas Creek Research, Inc
  • Technology Description

    Beam Optics Analysis is a 3D finite element analysis program for modeling charged particle propagation in electromagnetic fields. The principle innovation is adaptive meshing, which makes this the only code in the world with its capabilities. Another innovation is the ability to import the geometry from any commercial CAD program, dramatically simplifying user input and reducing the learning curve. All parametric input is through a user-friendly, intuitive, graphical user interface. This is one of the easiest to use 3D analysis programs in the field.
