OOPIC Pro makes immediately comprehending and interpreting challenging problems in plasma physics education affordable and easy. OOPIC Pro enables professors to provide their students real-time visualization of plasma behavior during simulation. Rich diagnostic visualization and interactivity builds appreciation of plasma dynamics and deeper physical insight into plasma behavior.

OOPIC Pro's intuitive user interface allows the user to select and edit model input files, control simulations, set data dump and plotting parameters and simultaneously visualize results in multiple ways as the simulation is running. Users get immediate feedback and can choose from more than a dozen 2D and 3D diagnostics. OOPIC Pro runs on all typical laptop and workstation hardware and supports Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows allowing it to be easily used in classroom demonstrations.

OOPIC Pro simulates physical systems, including:

  • Plasmas
  • Beams of charged particles with self-consistent and externally generated electric and magnetic fields
  • Low-to-moderate density neutral gasses
  • Wide variety of boundary conditions

OOPIC Pro has electrostatic and electromagnetic field solvers for 2D geometries in both xy (slab) and r-z (cylindrical) coordinates, and includes Monte Carlo collision and ionization models.
