User Manual

This manual will describe how to build and link against Kynema. It also provides several examples for how to use Kynema 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, as described in this manual. These examples are meant to be linked against an Kynema installation and can serve as the basis for specifiying your own problem using our interfaces. For more detailed build instructions, see the README files in their respective folders.
