The High energy FRagment Separator (HFRS), a new generation in-flight radioactive separator, is under construction at the high-intensity Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) in China. To further optimize the separator performance and consider the manufacturing technology, the specifications of some magnetic elements of the HFRS separator have been modified from the original design reported earlier, and prototypes of partial magnetic elements have been fabricated and tested. In this paper, updates of magnetic parameters, test results of prototypes, and development of ion-optical calculation are presented. The high-order correction of aberrations is demonstrated. The performance of the separator is studied using fission reactions and fragmentation reactions of relativistic 238U projectiles. This work will guide the forthcoming experiments in the future HFRS separator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
