Create multiple Trelis/Cubit tutorials for different mode #652

Open kkiesling opened 4 years ago

kkiesling commented 4 years ago

The tutorial that currently exists online shows how to create and prepare a model by using the command prompt in Trelis/Cubit. The same things can be done using the GUI or writing a python script. The full documented tutorial should include instructions for doing every step in all three modes (command prompt, GUI, python). Or three separate tutorials should exist for each mode used (less desirable than just making each step in the tutorial more comprehensive as this is probably harder to maintain).

Note: I don't think we need to include all three modes in the video tutorial (#647 ). I think those tutorials will be a natural combination of command prompt and GUI instructions.

Just to clarify for some new Cubit/Trelis users, there are 2 ways to interact with Cubit using python. One is through the "cubit python" command shell that can be used while running the GUI version of Cubit (by default, this command shell window is not shown). The other way is to use a standard python shell and import cubit.py (this is stored in the cubit install directory in bin) There are advantages and disadvantages of each option.
