Models a rectangular curved guide tube with entrance centered on the Z axis. The entrance lies in the X-Y plane. Draws a true depiction of the guide, and trajectories. Guide is not focusing.
Example: Guide_curved(w1=0.1, h1=0.1, l=2.0, R0=0.99, Qc=0.021, alpha=6.07, m=2, W=0.003, curvature=2700)
%BUGS This component does not work with gravitation on. Use component Guide_gravity then. Systematic error on transmitted flux is found to be about 10%.
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
