[Help] Need contributors for 'Onboarding FEM Devs' wiki page

Post by Kunda1 »

I finally bit the bullet and created Onboarding FEM Devs to address the redundant question of how new devs can contribute to this awesome workbench. It's still needs a lot of love. I'm hoping the FEM community will lean in and help. I plan to leverage other documentatio of the wiki so we're not repeating ourselves (for example Compile on Linux but maybe create a section in there for FEM? etc...)

Looking forward to you ocntributions :D

Don't think Paraview is a Prerequisite.

Good point. That was the thing that popped into my mind. I"ll move it to 'recommended'

Why would you like to split it? The equation object belongs to a solver. Why should this be a separated int to two Tutorials? What will be the difference between "Add FEM Equation Tutorial" and "Add FEM Equation for a Solver Tutorial" ?

BTW: if you use the icon wiki in the forum editor, you can make cool links to the wiki ... Add_FEM_Equation_Tutorial in code it looks:

In Section Equations:

Code: Select all

The actual implementation can be split into the generic and the solver specific part. 
I want to separate this generic and the solver specific parts.

But seems Equation only has meaning for Elmer, not for other solver like Calculix. So maybe just keep it as one and change it to 'Add Elmer Equation Tutorial'.
