where are the tutorials located?

Post by spacedout »

Good afternoon

This may sound like a very newbie question. However, I have no choice but to ask since I've hit-a-wall.
I have just installed the nightly windows executable under the Program Files (x86) folder but I cannot find any of the directories mentioned under the ElmerTurorlal.pdf. My laptop is running the Windows 7 OS.

Did I install the wrong version ? Could it be that the tutorials are only available under the Linux virtual machine for example ?

Happy Easter

Hello Kevinarden

Sorry, I should have been more careful and entitled the request as where are the directories mentioned in the tutorial pdf ?
(You are pointing me to the ElmerTutorial.pdf which I had already downloaded a week ago). I just cannot figure out which installation contains them.

Thanks to all

In the link I sent are two tar files

One for the ElmerGUI tutorial filesand one for the non GUI tutorial files.

Also sometimes the GUI tutorials says to load a geometry file

Depending on your system OS and how you installed it, they are in your ElmerGUI shared directory

/usr/share/ElmerGUI/samples

is the typical linux installation

I apologize. I should have realized from their sizes that those two .tar.gz contained the case studies themselves. It also appears to me that the ElmerGUI/samples subdirectories contain several of them as well.

Great many thanks
