Imagine a virtual cylinder passing through an rf cavity. Given field data on the surface of this cylinder, one can compute accurate high-order transfer maps for particles traversing the cavity*. This technique is robust against errors or noise present in the surface data; moreover, it is not limited to accelerating modes. We describe this technique and present recent work that uses VORPAL** field data as a starting point for modeling crab cavities. In addition, we present realistic models, including fringes, for several standing-wave modes. These models, which include a simple accelerating mode and a TM-110 (crab) mode, are useful for the accurate computation of transfer maps as well as for constructing model fields that can be used for testing and comparing a variety of rf cavity codes.
