GATORcell Documentation

Welcome to the GATORcell documentation. This website is here to aid you through the GATORcell Matlab wrapper. This essentially consists of a series of scripts designed to create ABAQUS input files for GATOR panels, using GMSH as a 3D CAD design and meshing algorithm.

The complete GATORcell code can be found here GATORcell GitHub page. This code relies on three software packages to run. ABAQUS/Standard as an FEA solver ideally with the capability of having access to ABAQUS/CAE for debugging. GMSH as a meshing and command line CAD tool and finally Matlab to run this GATORcell scripts in. Refer to the Compatibility page for the tested software versions.

Note

This site is still a work in progress. Hence why there will be some errors, some areas which are inclomplete and a large number of typos. If you think that some of the documentation is wrong log this here GATORdocs GitHub Issues page.
