core.elements.helper module

Define helper functions applying on elements.

force_a_lattice_for_every_element(elts: Sequence[Element]) → None

Give a lattice index to every element.

Elements before the first LATTICE command will be in the same lattice as the elements after the first LATTICE command.

Elements after the first LATTICE command will be in the previous lattice.

Example

Element/Command	Lattice before	Lattice after
QP1	None	0
DR1	None	0
LATTICE
QP2	0	0
DR2	0	0
END LATTICE
QP3	None	0
LATTICE
DR3	1	1
END LATTICE
QP4	None	1

force_a_section_for_every_element(elts: Sequence[Element]) → None

Give a section index to every element.

give_name_to_elements(elts: Sequence[Element], warn_default_element_names: bool = True) → None

Give to every :class:`.Element the name TraceWin would give it.
