cpymad--twiss problem about cpymad

[coldfix]

Seriously, put more effort into it when reporting an issue!

• Please post minimal examples!! I can't overstate the importance of this. Your posted files contain lots of code which is completely unrelated to the problem. Often, when creating minimal examples, you will figure out the problem on your own.
• The issue title is indescriptive.
• The premise of your first question is wrong, as the output shows (++++++ warning: unknown sequence skipped: x; ++++++ warning: unknown sequence ignored: x)
• Don't post anything that requires me clicking (annoying madx plots), except when it is essential to the problem.
• State the file names of the posted code. Otherwise, I will have to read your code before executing it in order to just figure out the file names. This is especially annoying since you didn't post minimal examples.
• (About your previous post:) You asked me how to plot multiple lines in matplotlib - don't ask me questions which you will find the answer in 1 minute searching on the internet!

Question 1

Short version: It doesn't work. Always make sure to use the correct sequence name! Read the MAD-X output carefully, it tells you that it doesn't work.

If you had created a minimal example you would have noticed this on your own (as soon as you remove the TWISS command from your madx file)!

Explanation: There is a TWISS command in your .madx file. MAD-X then stores the calculated values in a memory table named "twiss". When executing madx.twiss(sequence='x') from your python code, cpymad executes a command TWISS, sequence=x, .... For some reason MAD-X thinks that this is not an error and ignores the attempt. It does not signal the error so there is no way to infer this from python, and so the the python code just continues. It next loads values from the "twiss" table assuming its filled with happy new values. Since you previously calculated TWISS in some other way, there are indeed values, so this doesn't crash either. But it is an error!

Question 2

1. you can use the range parameter of madx.twiss(). But it may not work when multiple elements have the same name.
2. You can slice the array manually after figuring out what the index is. This looks like the following:

twiss = madx.twiss(...)
elements = madx.sequences['cassps'].elements
start = elements.index('qd:10')
stop = elements.index('qd:16')
twiss = {twiss[k][start:stop] for k in ['s', 'betx', 'bety']}
plt.plot(twiss['s'], twiss['betx'])
...

And by the way: why do you intermix the native madx twiss+plotting and cpymad? The whole purpose of cpymad is to access the madx in data in python, so you can use more sophisticated tools for data analysis, such as matplotlib.

Very sorry for that.

Native madx twiss+plotting is just a model from madx guide, so I directly copy from that.

Could you give me an example about matching?

Hi, Thomas

Your code has an error.

[coldfix]

Sorry, the offending line must read:

twiss = {k: twiss[k][start:stop] for k in ['s', 'betx', 'bety']}

[Landau1908]

Thanks. That works well. Haha

[coldfix]

There is a match function. Its docstring also contains a small example code, which can be accessed as follows:

help(madx.match)

However, its functionality is currently somewhat restricted. In particular, it doesn't support the global commands. You can either (a) contribute a patch to fix that, OR (b) write your match code like this

madx.command.match(sequence='cassps')
madx.command.vary(name='kqf', step=0.00001)
...
# 'global' is python keyword and therefore needs to be specified as string:
madx.command('global', sequence='cassps', Q1=26.58)
...
madx.command.endmatch()

[Landau1908]

Can madx.command call any code in madx?

[coldfix]

Yes. As stated in the Usage.
