VSim Reference

Overview

The VSim Reference manual describes in detail all Visual Setup parameters, all Vorpal input file blocks, and all macros that can be used.

VSim [VSi] is an arbitrary dimensional, electromagnetics and plasma simulation code consisting of two major components:

  • VSimComposer, the graphical user interface.
  • Vorpal [NC04], the VSim Computational Engine.

VSim also includes many more items such as Python, MPI, data analyzers, and a set of input simplifying macros.

Note

Collisions set up using the Monte Carlo Interactions frame work will still work in VSim 10 simulations, but we recommend converting simulations to the new Reactions Framework
