Finite element discretisation forms the basis of the methods used in theseanalysis programs. This widely applicable technique for the solution ofpartial differential equations requires special enhancements to make itapplicable to electromagnetic field calculations. Access to these features issupported by the OPERA-3D Geometric Modeller and pre processor.

10 Theseprograms provide facilities for the creation of finite element models, spec-ification of complicated conductor geometry, definition of material charac-teristics including for example, non-linear and anisotropic descriptions andgraphical displays for examination of the data. Similarly, the OPERA-3D post processor provides facilities necessary forcalculating electromagnetic fields. As well as displaying field quantities asgraphs and contour maps, the OPERA-3D post processor can calculate anddisplay many derived quantities and can plot particle trajectories throughthe calculated fields. This REFERENCE MANUAL describes in detail the OPERA-3D Modeller and thepre and post processors: Chapter 2 describes the common User Interface;Chapter 3 is a REFERENCE MANUAL for the Modeller, Chapter 4 for the preprocessor and Chapter 5 for the post processor.
