mbtools tutorial

 

If you want to learn how to use the membrane package mbtools and in particular get more familiar with the Cooke model for coarse grained lipid simulations, this is a good way to start. You can download a tutorial we have created about this and used in numerous summer schools. You can get a pdf alone, or a tarball of all necessary scripts to run the exercises:

Tutorial pdf file: [2011 version] [2015 version]

Tutorial tarball: [2011 version] [2015 version]
