SimScale SDK Tutorial¶
Welcome to the tutorial for the SimScale SDK!
The goal of this tutorial is to provide a first-touch introduction to the SimScale SDK, with a hands-on approach and practical examples.
The SimScale SDK offers API access to the SimScale simulation platform, with Python and C# libraries available.
With the SDK library, the user can automate tasks to create, run and postprocess physics simulations with FEA, CFD and LBM methods.
For more information about the SimScale platform, please visit the official web page
Target Audience¶
This tutorial is aimed towards users of the SimScale platform, who already have a notion of the simulation workflow, and want to lear how to automate their simualtions with the API. If you are a new user to SimScale, please first get a grasp of the workflow and capabilites of the platform, for instance by following the introductory and advaced tutorials
Introductory Platform Tutorials
In fact, the SDK driven simulation that will be developed in this guide corresponds with the “Fluid Flow Simulation” step-by-step tutorial from the introductory tutorials.
Also, this tutorial assumes that the user is already experienced in the python or C# programming languages and knowledgeable in basic to intermediate programming concepts. Most of the presented code is in the form of snippets and will not run on its own. For instance, variables created in previous pages might be used without additional notice or context.
Although the individual pages can serve as reference, following the tutorial step by step might be required to have a full understanding of the API workflow.
