Python Script Tutorial: Getting Started

The first step n order to interact with Kratos' python structure is to create a system variable on the python path to Kratos. That is, to establish a link between python and Kratos. To do this, you need to have them installed first.

To create the path on Windows 7 and having installed Kratos through GiD, follow these steps:

Go to Start Menu Right click on Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables On System variables, click New Write the variable name as PYTHONPATH On Variable value you need to paste the Kratos path of your computer: Go to the GiD folder. For example, it culd be in C:\Program Files\GiD Inside the GiD folder, you should follow \problemtypes\kratos.gid\Kratos\kratos.gid\kratos. There are many subfolders here and can be confusing. The correct one is just when you can see the KratosMultiphysics folder. Copy the current path and paste it as variable name

Click Accept. Now you can go to the next tutorial.
