In this tutorial you will learn how to use Cellider by loading and
working with a Magsimus Deluxe design session. However, keep in mind
that Cellider works identically the same for all MagOasis application
software. To benefit most from this tutorial, we recommend reading
it and practicing along with the examples from beginning to end. You
do not need an active Magsimus Deluxe license to follow this tutorial --
the demo mode of the program will do just fine.
Assumptions
Cellider is a Microsoft™ Windows™ program. As
such, this tutorial assumes a basic familiarity by you with using
programs under the Windows operating system.
Tutorial files
The design file and other files used for this
tutorial are included as part of your MagOasis software installation
under the Magsimus Examples folder (../Magsimus/Examples). The
zip file MagOasisTutorialFiles.ZIP in the Magsimus Resources
folder (../Magsimus/Resources), is an archive of all MagOasis tutorial files. You can also
download this archive from the MagOasis download page http://www.magoasis.com/Downloads.htm.
What is Cellider?
Cellider is a utility program for creating
different patterns in array components of open sessions of any of
the MagOasis application software products, Magsimus
Deluxe, Spin-valve Bench (SVB) or Ultra Recording
Simulator (URS). These array components can be of material (magnetic
or non-magnetic) types, or be field array components that
are used to
represent spatial magnetic field variations. The patterning of an array
entails the selective “turning on and off” of its computational cells
to obtain a desired sample shape. This capability greatly enhances the
versatility of all MagOasis application software. Cellider allows you
to form patterns manually as well as by applying standard shapes or
graphic masks imported from external files. Within Cellider you
can easily navigate and apply changes to different parts of a component.
You can also work with
multiple application sessions simultaneously.
