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.
