Abstract
Mesh generation is an integral part of the finite element simulation o f electron guns. This paper shows that curvilinear meshes are the idea l type of mesh to use, both in terms of accuracy and speed of computat ion, and presents a numerical method to generate quasi-curvilinear mes hes for a wide variety of electron gun structures.
