JuliaFEM User Manual

Audience: End users, engineers, students who want to run simulations and get results.

This manual is designed to be simple and practical - get you from zero to running simulations as quickly as possible.

What's Here

Quick Start: Installation and first simulation in 5 minutes
Tutorials: Step-by-step guides for common problems
Examples: Pre-built simulations you can run and modify
API Reference: Function documentation (what does this do?)
Troubleshooting: Common errors and how to fix them

What's NOT Here

Deep theory (see docs/book/ for that)
How to contribute code (see docs/contributor/ for that)
Internal architecture details

Philosophy

"Just show me how to solve my problem."

We assume you:

Have a problem to solve (heat transfer, elasticity, contact)
Want working code, not lectures
Will read theory when YOU need it, not when WE think you should

Getting Help
