speciesCurrEmit

Works with VSimBase, VSimEM, VSimPD, VSimPA, and VSimVE licenses.

Indicates Vorpal should record the emitted current of a species from a particle source. speciesCurrEmit requires both a species parameter and ptclSource parameter. This History tracks the emitted current of a charged species from a particle source. It only tracks one particle source of one given species.

speciesCurrEmit Parameters

species (string, required)

Indicates particle species type for a History kind that reports data for particle species. Exactly one species name should be specified.

ptclSource (string, required)

Specifies the name of a ParticleSource. Only one source name should be specified. The ParticleSource must be a LoaderEmitter (xvLoaderEmitter) type particle source with emit set as true (the default value), or a sourceType.

sourceType (integer, required)

Specifies the type of a ParticleSource, whether to measure the current from an emitter, a loader, or both. Set it 0 to measure emitter current only, 1 to measure loader current only, and 2 to measure currents from both emitter and loader combined.

speciesCurrEmit History Example

<History currEmit>
    kind = speciesCurrEmit
    species = [ electrons ]
    ptclSource = electrons.xvLoaderEmitterSource
    sourceType = 0
