Charged-particle ray trace Decorative artwork in the style of a CPO simulation plot: charged-particle trajectories, drawn as fine lines, converge through a crossover at a focal point marked by a glowing dot — the kind of ray trace the CPO programs produce.

CPO3D

Simulation of 3-dimensional electrostatic systems with the Boundary Element Method — fully relativistic, with planes of reflection symmetry used to increase accuracy where they exist.

About CPO3D

The only commercial program which uses the very accurate and fast Boundary Element Method — described as the gold standard of electrostatic simulation programs.

The program is fully relativistic and includes a vast range of options and capabilities, such as automatic focusing, easy-to-calculate lens properties, secondary rays, time-varying voltages, electrode shapes from a library or defined by user’s equations.

A very large range of template data files illustrate the accuracy and speed, backed by an exceptionally comprehensive on-line Help system. A ‘dielectric’ option can be added.

Capabilities

What CPO3D gives you

Automatic focus optimisation Iterates voltages for you until the focus lands where you want it. Lens properties & coefficients Cardinal points, aberration and spectrometer coefficients, calculated directly. Secondary rays Flexible ray definition, including secondaries generated at surfaces. Time-varying voltages Time-dependent potentials on any electrode (pulsed beams: CPO3DS). Electrode shape library Electrodes scaled, moved, rotated, stretched, cropped, copied and repeated. User-defined equations Shapes and behaviours defined by your own equations where the library ends. Reflection symmetries Planes of symmetry exploited to raise accuracy and cut solve time. Template data files A very large set of worked examples demonstrating accuracy and speed. Benchmarked accuracy Published benchmark tests against known analytic results.
