 Once you have pyvale installed you should get familiar with the core concepts of pyvale starting with the :ref:`basic examples <examples_sensorsim_basics>`. These examples come with some pre-packaged simulation data so you will not need to provide your own simulation to get started. With the core functionality of pyvale you will have everything you need to be able to build any custom sensor array that samples scalar (e.g. temperature), vector (e.g. displacement, velocity) or tensor fields (e.g. strain).
