This tutorial illustrates the basic functions of CrysMAS . Its purpose is to familiarize you with the navigational aids and the content of the menus and dialogs. Many of the tasks described in this tutorial are basic activities which need to be performed any time you run a thermal analysis.

This tutorial uses a *.crys file containing all geometry and materials data. Before starting computation, you specify basic settings and computational parameters. During computation you follow the solving procedure, look at the results and finally write an isoline to a file.
