Abstract :
Computer optimization can explore a wider parameter space than practical with manual design, particularly for 3D geometries. This allows rapid, economical development of higher performance devices. The proliferation of parametric solid modeling programs allows optimization of both geometry and operating parameters. This presentation described computer optimization in the 3D trajectory code beam optics analysis (BOA). This is possible because meshing in BOA is completely automatic, allowing the program to be controlled by the optimization routines.
