+
+COMPAS Masonry is a plugin for Rhino 8 for the equilibrium analysis of discrete-element structures,
+and for the stability assessment of (historic) masonry structures.
+
+The plugin is written entirely in Python using the [COMPAS framework](https://compas.dev),
+and can be installed in Rhino 8 using Yak, the official package manager for Rhino.

 # Tutorial
+
+In this tutorial, we will generate a very simple discrete element model representing a stone masonry arch.
+We will then compute the required contact forces between the elements to establish equilibrium for given boundary conditions and gravity loads.
+
+## Generate an arch
+
+## Create a masonry model
+
+## Define boundary conditions
+
+## Compute equilibrium forces
