Earlier this year I published two blogs/articles, where we had a look at the utility of the SIMULIA Opera simulation environment for the design and analysis of X‑ray tubes.
First, we concentrated on a review of the processes that underlie the operation of X-ray tubes, and the requirements that they place on tools used in their design.
In part two, we focused on the ability of Opera to address the task of simulating the main processes involved in X-ray production, namely the generation, acceleration, transport and focus of an electron beam onto a target. By providing simulation technologies for these processes, Opera enables the efficient design and analysis of X-ray tubes.
I have compiled the two articles into one downloadable paper, which is provided here.
