Hi,

This is my first post, and if this is the wrong area, I apologize. I was wondering if anyone knows of a software package that will design the pole faces for a quadrupol or hexapole electromagnetic beam focusing magnet given the beam parameters and electromagnetic magnetic field strength. I am most interested in the pole face radius and the transition radius from the parallel sides of the pole to the radius of the pole face.

Thank you much

J
