Official docs files

Documents distributed with SOLPS-ITER

The SOLPS-ITER manual, open_in_new structured version (3.0.9) and open_in_new wide grids version (3.2.0)

  • the manual is continually updated to reflect recent changes in SOLPS; find the version relevant to your installation in $SOLPSTOP/docs/solps.pdf
  • for convenience, the download 3.0.9 manual and the download 3.2.0 manual from December 2025 are shipped with SOLPS-doc
  • works ok as a reference material, but I would not recommend reading it as a book from start to finish :)

download DivGeo tutorial slides

  • slides illustrating basic DivGeo usage and mesh building
  • skips plenty of other DivGeo features, refer to the manual and DivGeo help prompts for more

And there are other documents in the docs folder of your SOLPS-ITER installation.

And there is also the ITER open_in_new SharePoint with even more documents, workshop reports, example runs, and other stuff that does not fit into the git repo.
