A selection of tutorial models and examples are presented in this section. These and other model examples can also be selected and automatically run from the File > Model Examples and Tutorials... menu.

When an automated tutorial is selected, the Run Model dialog box will open and show a description and information about the tutorial example. The tutorial can be started by pressing the Run button. de-selecting the Tutorial mode toggle button will run the tutorial in fast automatic mode without any pauses. When a tutorial or finite element script (fes) model is run, the GUI Playback Control panel below is opened where the Playback Speed can be controlled via the slider. Setting the slider to the slowest (far left) setting pauses the tutorial playback and enables the Step button to manually step through the tutorial at ones own pace. Closing the playback control panel or pressing the Cancel button stops the tutorial at the current state.
