Abstract The behavior of orbits in charged-particle beam transport systems, including both linear and circular accelerators as well as final focus sections and spectrometers, can depend sensitively on nonlinear fringe-field and high-order-multipole effects in the various beam-line elements. Surface fitting algorithms provide a robust and reliable method for extracting this information accurately from 3-dimensional field data provided on a grid. Based on these realistic field models, Lie or other methods may be used to compute accurate design orbits and high-order symplectic maps about these orbits. We describe the implementation of a general method for treating magnetic elements with curved reference trajectories that is especially well-suited for extracting symplectic transfer maps for large-sagitta bending dipoles with fringe fields.
