Per-Element Maximum Step Length

Issue #307 new
Laurie Nevay created an issue

We can generally limit the step length of all tracks in the simulation with

option, maximumStepLength=123*cm;

for example. However, it would be good to do this on a per-beamline-element basis for efficiency. Use case: SR in specific magnets to get spectrum and flux right.

  • Add to parser element
  • Implement as base class setter in BDSAcceleratorComponent
  • Do beside minimumKineticEnergy in BDSComponentFactory
  • Document in manual along with minimumKineticEnergy as the parameters that apply to all beam line elements.
  • Implementation: in function to create user limits include the element variable as one for consideration in min()
