<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Yade can be started from either a terminal window or just by clicking on the icon. Currently it is more useful to run it from a terminal because:<br />
* you can <tt>cd</tt> into a directory of your choice (quite often it's yade's <tt>bin/</tt> directory), so that default <tt>../data</tt> directory exists. Next version should allow to configure paths<br />
* you can see all messages going to <tt>stderr</tt> or <tt>stdout</tt><br />
<br />
==File Generator==<br />
<br />
When yade starts, click "'''Preprocessor->File Generator'''". Filegenerators are used to generate an input file for yade to simulate something. You can try using some of the existing ones before you try [[Extending yade|writing a new filegenerator]]. You will see a following dialog box:<br />
<br />
{| style="margin:0;padding:0.2em;width:100%;"<br />
|valign="top"|<br />
{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;" width="100%"<br />
! width="20%" | ''key/button''<br />
! width="80%" | ''result''<br />
|-<br />
| ''Output file name''<br />
| By default it is <tt>../data/scene.xml</tt>. If you didn't downloaded yade examples this directory might not exist, you can create it, or use another one.<br />
|-<br />
| ''Output library name''<br />
| save format of the file. The BINFormatManager (binary format) is faster to load and save!<br />
|-<br />
| ''Generator name''<br />
| is the name of the class used to generate this file. You can pick anything from the list, and see what it generates. If you happen to write a new generator plugin, and a path to this plugin was added in preferences, then it will automatically appear in this drop down list.<br />
|-<br />
| ''Open automatically''<br />
| If set, the generated file will be automatically opened. In fact you can generate the <tt>.xml</tt> file using some other tools completely not related to yade. And afterwards open them in yade.<br />
|-<br />
| ''... Parameters''<br />
| parameters of the plugin used to generate a file. Each plugin has its own different parameters, so explaining them here is too much.<br />
|-<br />
| ''Save''<br />
| save the configuration of this FileGenerator, to restore it later<br />
|-<br />
| ''Load''<br />
| load the configuration of this FileGenerator<br />
|-<br />
| ''Generate''<br />
| a generated output file will be saved.<br />
|-<br />
| ''Stop''<br />
| If generation takes long time, and you want to stop it, use this button.<br />
|}<br />
<br />

[[Image:filegenerator.png|300px]]<br />

<br />
{{clr}}<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
Some of the filegenerators mentioned above need an input file which can be found in [[Installation#Release|yade-examples]]. Currently we have:<br />
<br />
* 2 examples for FEM<br />
* 1 example for SDEC Impact test<br />
<br />
Other filegenerators work without need for any input file. They generate examples just by parameters given to them. In the future yade-examples will contain more.<br />
<br />
Put those examples in mentioned above ''<tt>somewhere</tt>''<tt>/data/</tt> directory, so that filegenerators will find them.<br />
<br />
To have a glance on what FileGenerators are available, and what they do, please visit the [[screenshots and videos]] section.<br />
<br />
==First simulation==<br />
<br />
Once you have succesfully generated an input file for the simulation (called <tt>../scene.xml</tt> by default), you can load and run it. Click "'''File->New Simulation'''", and you will see a '''Simulation Controller''' window. Inside it click Load and choose scene.xml. You should see something like this:<br />
<br />
[[Image:yade_firsttime.png|600px]]<br />
<br />
You can manipulate the qglviewer graphical window by dragging and scrolling with the mouse. To run the simulation click the button [[Image:yade_play.png]] (''play''). Eventually you will see something like this:<br />
<br />
[[Image:yade_boxwall.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
<br />
From now on you can start exploring yade yourself, and have a look at '''[[usage details]]''' for more info.<br />
