pde2path 2.4: installation and usage tipps
See here for an overview of the problem structure and main routines of pde2path. See here for a description of the settings and numerical constants in the problem structure 'p'.
Install and test pde2path 2.4:
- Go into the "pde2path" folder and run the file "setpde2path.m" (drag-and-drop into the command window).
- Go to the "demos/acsuite/ac1D_simple" directory and open the "cmds.m" file, and run it cell-by-cell.
- Check out the other demos and use a suitable demo as a template for your problem (see the manual for the equations of the demos)
Step 1 needs to be done each time pde2path is used from this directory. (Or save the path.) Use this also to switch between versions or installations of pde2path.
Usage tips for Matlab environment:
- Type "p2phelp" to get into the help system.
- Generally type "help <function>" to see a short description and further links to related functions.
- We very sparingly use the command "pause" in the demo files (usually between plot commands to give the opportunity to modify and export figures, but some "pause" commands may also be residuals from testing). If NOTHING HAPPENS for some time, try HITTING A KEY.
- Type first letters of a command and hit tab to see possible extensions.
- USE THIS ALSO FOR VARIABLE NAMES IN p-STRUCTURE!
- In the editor right-click on a (selected) function name and choose "Open
" to open it in the editor. - Type "edit <function>" to open
in editor. - Use the search command "Find files" to search all files of a directory for a certain command or variable etc.
- Type "edit <function>" to open
