Solver documentation needs a working tutorial, updates, and corrections
@ryanspilker is already working on this.
Since Apr 7, 2026.
Assessment
This issue has not been assessed yet.
Description
Description
No working tutorial is currently available in this documentation that leads to a completed simulation with the supported solver, svMultiPhysics. The Simulations Tool lacks a tutorial and has documentation that needs updates and corrections. The MultiPhysics Tool has a tutorial that is incomplete, currently not working, and written twice. Both tools' documentation pages are marked as beta versions.
Reproduction
A new user following the Getting Started Guide and continuing through the tutorial sections of the other guides in the documentation currently fails to complete a hemodynamic simulation.
Expected behavior
A new user should find a straightforward path starting with the Getting Started Guide to complete a first simulation with the Simulations Tool or the MultiPhysics Tool.
Additional context
The MultiPhysics Tool's tutorial with corrections should enable a new user to complete a simulation, but it is missing final steps and fails due to another issue, SimVascular/SimVascular#1182.
