Hello everyone. I have a model of a solenoid in 2D axis symmetric geometry. I need to evaluate trajectories of electrons moving in the uniform sector of magnetic field. The problem is, when I use an inlet lying on the axis of rotation, the particle starts precessing, hits the wall and freezes. It does not "see" that the field mirrors itself on the other side of the axis. And I see no suitable option in "Charged particle tracing" --> "Axial symmetry" boundary condition. You can either set particle to freeze or to scatter when it hits the axis.
P.s.: it's not viable to rebuild the model in 3D since the solenoid is 4 meters long with some elements 1mm wide, so the meshing would be an overkill,.
