I think having the screenshot and explanation of what each menu item/toolbar button does is great, but remember that the problem I had when I started with ModelBuilder was understanding the workflow it was intended to support. From that perspective, I think the best structure for the user's manual would be to cover the most typical use case: - Import a simulation tempate - Import or generate a model - Fill out attributes specifying the simulation - Specify global simulation parameters - Create attribute instances for materials and other non-geometric properties that may have an arbitrary number in the simulation - Associate model entities to attributes - Specify mesh size constraints and mesh the geometry (optionally in the future) - Export the simulation input deck and analysis mesh David From david.thompson at kitware.com Thu Jul 2 13:32:11 2015 From: david.thompson at kitware.com (David Thompson) Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2015 13:32:11 -0400 Subject: [Cmb-users] Modelbuilder User Manual draft In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: > What are you using to make the pdf? I'd recommend something like Latex that works well with git. I second this and would add Sphinx as a possibility since it has good online-HTML plus PDF output.

I think what you wrote is a good base for describing ModelBuilder UI, and I agree with Dave, we will need other sections from use cases point of view, such as loading models from different kernels, supported model operations, how to do meshing, how to create simulation input files, etc. Another thing to keep in mind is that CMB suite includes (or will include ) other applications (PointsBuilder, SceneBuilder, MeshViewer at least), and some of the UI components are the same across all these applications.

Thanks Yumin for the paraview link. I looked for an old ModelBuilder manual and I don't think there is one.
