APERTURE attribute does not work

I test the following element without surface physics (as reported on the OPAL manual: 18.5 Example of an Input File):

FX5: SLIT, L=0.09, ELEMEDGE=0.01,APERTURE={0.005,0.003};

This command is not recognized by OPAL and the slit has no aperture:

OPAL[3]> * Slit x= 0 Slit y= 0 start= 0.01 fn= 
Ippl[3]> FX5 gone live

Btw this information is displayed only with --info 3.

I could reproduce the same effect with different OPAL versions:

  • OPAL1.4.0 released version: the beam is lost without any error or warning messages

  • Solution and Request

    1- Don't fix it: in this case the APERTURE has to be removed as element attribute and delete every reference from the manual

    2- Fix it: would be the nicer solution since it should allow to create asymmetric apertures in collimators and slits, otherwise not possible
