User Docs

The following pages contain user docs for the SU2 software suite. This guide provides a general overview of the procedures required to download and install the software, a description of input/output filetypes, explanation of how to run SU2 from the command line, and some details on post-processing.

This guide does not give the details of the implementation and structure of the source code. However, some of that information is available in the developer docs, and we are in the process of creating more content and training materials for developers. The pages below are ideal for new users looking to do analysis and design, using features already implemented in the software.
