Problem with vary_element
Posted: 18 Aug 2009, 03:40
Hello,
I tried to study some energy mismatch in my beam line using MALIGN and VARY_ELEMENT. I set up everything as proposed in the manual and the examples but got the following error messages:
"Error:
The following parameter name is invalid: >050DELTAE.DP<
(sddsconvert may be used to change the name)"
and
"Problem defining extra SDDS parameters in file rtml.fin (setup_output)"
Since I knew it should work, I tried several things and finally renamed the MALIGN element to TESTDELTAE. Now it works! Could it be that VARY_ELEMENT does not correctly process element names which start with a number?
Cheers
Frank
