Hello again,
I think I figured out how to do this. Used:
BEAM -.075 4.0 4.0 1.0ELECTRON
BEAMAXES 0.0 1. 0.0 1. 0.0 0.0
BEAMPOS -260. 76.0 2941.5
Looks like by definition, beam is always along z axis. Since I want to
put the beam along the 'Frame' or 'Geometry' x axis, I need to define
the direction cosines between the beam coordinate system and the 'Frame'
or 'Geometry' coordinate system.
Am I right?
For some reason, I had to 'swap' the axis in flair to get the right plan
view distribution. Don't know why this is... I thought plotting Z vs
X, using 'Z-X' as axes should have worked but that is not the case.
Best wishes,
Mina
