Video Tutorials

These instructional Videos apply to a slightly older version of MCS Mac codes. However, they are useful for the newer versions MCS PC users. The very first Video relates to the installation on the Mac and is not relevant to PC users. Instructions for download and installation for PC are on this site (MCS code).

A complete set of files that are indexed to the instructional videos may be found here.

An instructional Video provided by Professor Valentine Troll in collaboration with European continent MCS Team Leader Dr Jussi Heinonen may be found here.
