Introduction

Let’s start here with a quick introduction of the interface.

When opening PecubeGUI, a window will show up with a welcome message (Figure 1). This is the main window where you can access all the functionalities. Here, I give a brief overview of the access.

The numbers on Figure 1 give access to the followings:

  1. File menu. This menu comprises three options:

  • New Input file: open a new Pecube project from which to set new input parameters.

All these actions can be called with keyboard shortcuts, found next to the action labels.
