4.1. Examples Using pyCart

Example projects that demonstrate how to use pyCart can be found in $CAPE/examples/pycart/ where $CAPE is the folder in which Cape is installed. The examples are intended to roughly increase in capability in an interactive fashion to initiate users to the various capabilities of pyCart and Cart3D.

The first two examples are designed to initiate users to basic usage that is relevant to any pyCart project, and the remaining examples try to introduce more complex features one at a time. As a result, the examples after the first two are fairly independent. One exception is the business jet example, which discusses how to use the "DataBook" and "Report" sections.
