This section includes step-by-step instruction of how to create and run a simple case in GenCade. A zip file is included at the end of this section, so that the user can reproduce the results on his or her computer.

This simple case involves a straight shoreline (no regional contour), a groin, a beach fill, and an inlet. Variable grid resolution is not used but will be discussed at the end.

After completing this example, the user should be able to setup a simple GenCade grid, understand how the steps can be applied to a more complex case, run GenCade, and review results.
