Thank you for creating this forum as a place to exchange information.
However, at the moment I do not find the structure of the forum to be very clear - or the titles of (some of) the topics to be self explaining.
There are topics related to activities such as 'track bugs' or 'announcements' but then there are also topics related to certain functionalities of MARS such as 'LDPM', 'user defined features'.
For example I am not sure where to post the request for a new feature, especially if it is not directly LDPM related.
Also, I am not sure what to expect from topic 'LDPM' as it may overlap with 'bugs', 'new features', or 'manual'.
Personally, I believe that a activity based structure is more intuitive.
I suggest to have
- report and track bugs
- request updates to the manual
- request new features
plus having a set of clear FAQs concerning
- the use of existing features in the mechanical model (maybe split into LDPM and continuum)?
- the use of the diffusion solver and multi-physics problems
- the coding / implementation of new features?
