WaveTrain TutorialThe WaveTrain Hands-On Workshop is perhaps the best stand-alone reference for learning how to use WaveTrain. Using this tutorial, experienced Windows users should be able to go through the process of installing WaveTrain, building and manipulating WaveTrain models, and generating and analyzing results. Even without access to the WaveTrain software, readers of the briefing will be able to grasp the fundamental concepts behind WaveTrain and begin to understand its applications. To go through the entire workshop on your own, you will need the following:

Short Course on Modeling and Simulation of Beam Control SystemsOn October 18, 2004 MZA presented a short course on Modeling and Simulation of Beam Control Systems at the Directed Energy Professional Society's (DEPS) Seventh Annual Directed Energy Symposium in Rockville, Maryland. Sixteen people attended the course and we received largely positive feedback on the presentation. The course covered a broad range of foundational, numerical, and practical aspects of constructing and analyzing computer simulations of Beam Control Systems (BCS). Of particular interest to wave optics simulationists is a rigorous development of sampling requirements in Parts 2 and 3. The short course materials can be viewed or downloaded using the links below.
