Using sddsurgent to calculate undulator radiation

[Sven Ackermann]

Hello,

I wanted to calculate the integrated spectrum in one of the undulators we use here. So I tried sddsurgent and it did not work. Even calling just "sddsurgent" did produce a error message:


"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Program: C:\Program Files\APS\Elegant\sddsurgent.exe

R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information"

and after clicking "OK" it states:

"sddsurgent.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0x0000142). Click OK to close the application"

The files to produce the file sddsurgent should proceed are attached. My undulator is 2m long and has 127 periods,kx=0,ky=2.83

And the missing file

I fixed this problem. Our FORTRAN programs needed to be distributed with manifest files. Not sure why this wasn't a problem before. Anyways, there is a new elegant download for Windows now.

Thanks for your fast response - this error is gone. But now occurs another one: When executing the following command:

sddsurgent OTR1SFUND1.twi OTR1SFUND1.spec -calculation=mode=5,method=1 -undulator=period=0.015,numberOfPeriods=127,kx=0,ky=2.83 -electronBeam=current=0.1 -emittanceRatio=1

Then the standard-windows error pops up: "sddsurgent has encountered a problem and needs to close". It seems that sddsurgent wants to calculate, but there is some error inside - or is my syntax just wrong, or the .ele-file?

If i just type "sddsurgent" into the shell, it states me the options and switched as it should. Could you provide me a working sddsurgent example to check if just my files are wrong? Thanks.

Best regards,
Sven

Sven,

Try using sddsfluxcurve instead of sddsurgent for this application. It's easier to use.

Also, is your input file of the right type? You need to provide a twiss parameter file or an output from sddsanalyzebeam.

Hello Michael,

I just copied the wrong part, of course I used the twiss file.

Today I tried sddsfluxcurve, and also this crashed like the sddsurgent with the standard windows error. I tried the following:

sddsfluxcurve OTR1SFUND1.twi OTR1SFUND1.rad -harmonics=3 -undulator=period=0.015,numberOfPeriods=127,kmin=2.8,kmax=3 -electronBeam=current=0.1,emittanceRatio=1

At least now the output file is produced, and it contains an header, but there is no data inside the columns.

Could you may be provide me a simple example of sddsfluxcurve that works on your computer, so that I can check if the error is in my files or in elegant?

Thanks in advance,
Sven

Sven,

Can you upload your .twi file so I can try your command? I don't see any reason it wouldn't work.

Hi Michael,

here it is. Thanks for your effort.

Sven,

I can duplicate the problem, but I'm not sure what causes it. We are looking into it.

Thank you! At least I know it is not due to my pc. In case it matters: Also the last release, elegant 23.1.2 suffers from the same problem.

Best regards,
Sven
