Tools for working with 3D SIMION potential arrays and for converting them to HDF5.

Features:

• convert 3D SIMION potential array files to HDF5
• fast adjust potential arrays for a set of applied voltages
• efficiently calculate the potential or field at a given coordinate (e.g., for trajectory calculations)

TODO:

• add support for SIMION files that utilise symmetry

Clone the source,

git clone https://github.com/ad3ller/fastadjust  
cd fastadjust

If the SIMION 8.1 python API is not located in "C:\Program Files\SIMION-8.1\lib\python" then modify PATH in fastadjust/simion.py.

Next, install fastadjust with setuptools

python setup.py install

The SIMION 8.1 python API, which is used by fastadjust to convert PAs to HDF5, does not support python 3. The other features of fastadjust work in python 2 or 3.

To create a python 2.7 environment, see https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/manage-python.html
