  The ion-optical scheme construction method, algorithm and program based on a global and a set of  local co-ordinates choice  were developed. The ion-optical scheme of a gas-filled separator includes dipole and quadrupole magnets, apertures and drift spaces. The method applied allows trajectory equations to be invariant in different scheme elements.
