Examples¶
This page collects a number of example SOFT simulations that you can use to learn how to run SOFT. The example pages show you the expected result and gives the necessary parameters to reproduce the result. You can then try to write a SOFT configuration script that properly reproduces the image, spectrum or figure. Each example comes with a complete solution as well.
All examples, along with plotting scripts, can be found in the examples/
subdirectory of the SOFT2 repository.

Green’s function output¶
Green’s functions
Generate a SOFT Green’s function. This example illustrates how to generate a simple momentum-space Green’s function for computing total radiated power, but can be readily generalized for any set of Green’s function parameters.
