Preliminary note

This is the old OPAL manual. It is retained as historical documentation and is no longer maintained. If you are looking for the current OPALX manual, please refer to the OPALX documentation.

OPAL is a parallel open-source tool for charged-particle optics in linear accelerators and rings, including 3D space charge. Using the MAD language with extensions, it runs on laptops as well as on the largest high-performance computing systems.
