PopIn

To get started with PopIn, clone the repository, then run Matlab, and cd into the folder containing this README file. Finally you can start the launcher by typing "demo" at the Matlab command prompt.

See the full documentation at http://popin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/.

Features

This Matlab toolbox has been developed to : * plot load-displacement curves ; * plot cumulative (Weibull or time/temperature dependent) distribution of the 1st or the 2nd pop-in.
