User Manual

This manual will describe how to build and link against Kynema-FMB. It also provides several examples for how to use Kynema-FMB to model and solve structural dynamics problems. To find working versions of each of these problems, see the tests/documentation_tests/ folder. There, you will also find simple CMake scripts demonstrating how to link against Kynema-FMB, as described in this manual. These examples are meant to be linked against a Kynema-FMB installation and can serve as the basis for specifying your own problem using our interfaces. For more detailed build instructions, see the README files in their respective folders.
