You will likely be aware that in the new releases of Opera 2D (2021 onwards) COMI based scripting has been replaced with Python. The new software has some capacity to run legacy COMI scripts however this is limited and some commands are now defunct. We want to understand what challenges (and opportunities) this will present for those working on magnet design at CERN. We can then create a suitable strategy for minimising disruption as we transition to the new version of Opera 2D.
Agenda
- Introductions
- Demonstration: Operapy for Opera 2D - see attached videos
- Brief overview of example 2D model.
- Running models in the 2D terminal and in a 3rd party IDE.
- Converting a COMI script to python.
- Ambre Visive presentation: “Using Object-Oriented Programming and Packaging in Python to model magnets for the Experimental Areas”
- Group discussion: Needs of CERN Opera 2D users
- Roundtable discussion to agree essential requirements and useful features/tools to work towards.
- Propose what tools can be developed in-house at CERN and what features will be formally requested from Opera.
