scuff-em Tutorial Examples: Table of contents
The scuff-em distribution comes with a large number of
tutorial examples, organized below by the field of science or engineering
to which they belong.
After a successful installation,
the input files and other data needed to run these will be installed in
the directory ${prefix}/share/scuff-em/examples, where
${prefix} is the installation path you specified when building scuff-em.
Note that the tutorial examples are designed to illustrate various capabilities of scuff-em from the user's perspective; you may also be interested in the scuff-em test suite, which is designed to benchmark and validate the correctness of scuff-em calculations in various canonical physics and engineering problems with known solutions.
