Xenos simulates X-ray and electron devices

A Field Precision product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jul 23, 2009

LLC has released Xenos (X-ray/Electron Numerical Optimization Suite), a suite of advanced 2D/3D finite-element programs for simulating X-ray and electron devices.

Component programs calculate electric fields, magnetic fields, charged-particle dynamics, electron-photon-positron transport in materials and thermal transport.

The system geometry is defined in the interactive graphical environment of Geometer.

Metamesh uses the information to create conformal meshes of hexahedron elements for the solution programs.

The same or different meshes may be used to define: electrodes and dielectrics for electrical field calculations (Hiphi); coils, iron and permanent magnets for magnetic field calculations (Magnum); elements and compounds for Monte Carlo radiation transport (Gambet); and solid materials for thermal transport (Heatwave).

From this point, there are several options: Gambet can import field information from Hiphi and Magnum.

In this case, electron and positron histories are influenced by Lorentz forces and material interactions.

Gambet can transfer information to Omnitrak to trace orbits of particles generated in a target (for example a positron beam).

Field information from Hiphi and Magnum can be transferred to Omnitrak to design electron guns and transport systems.

The resulting beam distributions can then be sent to Gambet to study target interactions.

Gambet records the spatial distribution of deposited power density.

The information is used by Heatwave for static and dynamic thermal simulations.

Gendist performs statistical analysis of particle distributions from Omnitrak and Gambet.

Xenos includes a parallel set of programs for 2D calculations.

There are several pathways for interactions between the 2D and 3D programs.
