Welcome to the Garp3 User Manual. Here you can find help on using Garp3. Every screen in Garp3 has its own help page which describes the operations available on that screen.
To learn about how to use the help pages best, follow this link: Help
The main screen of Garp3 offers access to the main operations, which are divided in three categories: file operations, build operations, and simulate operations. When you start Garp3, only the toolbar for the file operations is shown, while the build and simulate toolbars are collapsed.
You can expand the build or simulate toolbar by pressing the button 'Show build tasks' or the button 'Show simulate tasks'. The tooltips can help you find out which button to press: The operation associated to a button and other items in the interface of Garp3 will appear as a tooltip when you move the mouse over it.
This workspace is divided into three categories. On top is the File operations section, in the middle is the Build operations section and at the bottom are the Simulate operations.
