Why Should We Learn Amesim Following Help
My Experience
When I was learning Amesim, I went through many tutorials, but after going around in circles, I discovered that carefully studying the help documentation yielded the greatest results. I believe that:
Learning Amesim through the help documentation might be the most efficient method, bar none.
No matter how many videos you watch, you'll inevitably end up referring back to the help documentation. So why not start with it right from the beginning? Once you thoroughly digest the help documentation, you'll naturally understand the software, your mind will be settled, and although it seems like you've chosen a more difficult path, it actually saves time and effort, preventing you from falling into the confusing process of searching for resources everywhere.
Amesim's help documentation is excellent and contains some great examples. However, these examples aren't always beginner-friendly, especially when you encounter an unfamiliar parameter that might hold you up for half a day, or three unfamiliar parameters that might cause you to not understand the example at all.
Based on my learning experience, I've conducted in-depth research on the help documentation, explaining the difficult points and clarifying questions. This mainly includes the following parts:
Learning Methods
Complete Operation Process of Examples
Follow my operation process, and I guarantee that you'll be able to get the examples running.
Key Parameter Explanations
Some parameters are self-explanatory, but others require in-depth research to understand. I look up help resources and materials, combined with case verification methods, to clarify the meaning of these parameters and then explain them to you.
Component Interpretation
Understanding the components in the examples helps you know how to use them. When you create similar examples later, you can quickly get started.
Example Extensions
After understanding an example, you'll find it surprisingly simple. You'll feel great joy and confidence, no longer fearing complex documentation and intimidating terminology.
Then, we expand our research into the physical phenomena, parameters, etc., of the examples, easily playing with them. This makes learning both solid and fast, avoiding the phenomenon of "from beginner to quitter."
Highlights and Analysis
Some aspects of the official examples are very ingenious, such as layout, typography, text descriptions, parameter settings, data processing, image rendering, etc., which are worth learning from.
One Case Leads to All
When you thoroughly understand one case, you'll find that no matter what problems you encounter later, they will feel familiar, and you can quickly find solutions - it's simply a matter of practice and experience.
Focus on studying cases in depth, and you'll naturally achieve the state where understanding one principle leads to understanding all.
