All corresponding files for the tutorials are located in the 4C subfolder <4C-sourcedir>/tests/framework-tests/*.

Most of the tutorials use Cubit to generate the finite element geometry, so we will introduce one possible pre-processing method here for the general case. The output format used here is Exodus II, which is a binary format. This cannot be read by 4C directly, but a converter within the 4C framework, pre_exodus is used to generate a valid input file. You’ll find more information about this converter in the Preprocessing section.

The following tutorials are available to show different features of 4C.
