The main GCMotion namespace

The main GCMotion namespace offers the creation of entities, such as a tokamak Profile, a Particle or a Collection of Particles, as well as tokamak configuration objects, such as a QFactor, MagneticField and ElectricField:

Constructing Quantities

All variables that represent physical quantities (except from angles) are defind as Quantities, using the pint libary. See how you can define them here:

• gcmotion.QuantityConstructor
  • Initializing the Quantity Constructor
  • Defining complex Quantities
  • Converting to NU and back
  • Conversion Table

Tokamak Configuration

A Tokamak entity, apart from its major and minor radii, requires a q-factor, a magnetic and an electric field to be defined:

gcmotion.qfactor	Creates a q-factor
gcmotion.bfield	Creates a Magnetic field
gcmotion.efield	Creates an Electric field

• Tokamak Configuration Objects

Essential Entities

Tokamak(R, a, qfactor, bfield, efield)

Creates a tokamak device.

• gcmotion.Profile
• gcmotion.Particle

InitialConditions(species, theta0, zeta0, ...)

Creates a set of initial conditions for a particle

Utilities

get_size(obj)

Recursively finds size of objects and prints the result.
