MCBEND is used to analyse a wide variety of problems. Some problems frequently occur or are particularly difficult to solve. Thus there is an ongoing programme of writing applications guides for MCBEND, each treating a particular type of problem.
Each guide contains a description of the relevant physical processes, their functionality in the code, advice on the code's application, examples of input data, and validation evidence.
The current guides, and those in preparation, which are available to ANSWERS customers, are tabulated below.
