 ===== Connectors =====
 Connectors define the flow of data from the output of one block into the input of another.  Connectors are inserted by clicking and dragging from the output node of one block to the input node of another - clicking and dragging in the opposite direction works as well.  Connectors may be deleted by right-clicking on a node's label and choosing **Disconnect**.

+===== Data Types =====
 Grasshopper supports a wide range of data types.  Here we'll only cover the basic types that are used by Intact.Simulation.

 ==== Entering Vectors ====
   Vector block: /Params\ --> Geometry --> <Vector> --> RMB on Vector block --> Set one Vector (in Rhino) --> Follow Rhino prompts

   Mesh block: /Params\ --> Geometry --> <Mesh> --> RMB on Mesh block --> Set one Mesh (in Rhino) --> Follow Rhino prompts
   Shortcut: RMB on geometry input label --> Set one Geometry / multiple Geometries (in Rhino) --> Follow Rhino prompts
+==== Creating Lists ====
+Some Intact.Simulation blocks accept lists as input.  For example, Intact.Simulation can operate on bonded assemblages of components, or multiple loads may be applied in a simulation.  Lists can be created in the following ways:
+  "Flat" tree: /Sets\ --> Tree --> Merge block --> Connect multiple inputs to Merge block
+  Shortcut: Hold shift while connecting blocks to list input
