This repository stores example files for PySDM depicting usage of PySDM from Python via Jupyter. For information on the PySDM package itself and examples of usage from Julia and Matlab, see PySDM README.md file.

Please use the PySDM issue-tracking and discussion infrastructure for PySDM-examples as well.
