Each option contains a list of different examples that can be used for learning purposes and technical references. Titles are indicative of the subject and one reference picture is shown for making the selection easier. The datasets can be loaded/imported and the examples calculations run. A subdirectory of the current project directory is normally created for performing the analysis of the demo example; however, the user may select any other directory. Listed examples have a description document including theoretical background and specific example explications and results in the .pdf format.
They are part of the product installation and can be found at File\Examples\Verification examples as shown in the link below.
