XSim Documentation

The XSim Documentation comes in 5 manuals.

XSim Installation: System requirements, installing the software on your machine, release notes, and licensing.

XSim User Guide: Basics of creating and running a simulation, simulation concepts, and how to analyze and visualize the output.

XSim Customization: How to write macros to make input file writing easier, and how to write special analyzers for your data.

XSim Reference: Describes the input variables and panels of XSimComposer and the input blocks of Vorpal, and provides an API-level discussion of every analyzer and macro.

XSim Examples: Detailed walkthrough of a range of simulations.

These manuals are also distributed with XSim in PDF form for your convenience.
