Code Structure
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This section provides an overview of how the WEC-Sim code is
structured by describing the :ref:`user-code-structure-src` (e.g.
:ref:`user-code-structure-classes` and :ref:`user-code-structure-library`, and
how they are defined in the :ref:`user-workflow-input-files` (i.e.
``wecSimInputFile.m`` and ``<Simulink_model_name>.slx``).
