The aim of this tutorial is to give insight into the practical use of the PEmodel. Starting from a set of molecular structures and until you arrive at the final property, there are many crucial details to consider in order to obtain trustworthy results in an efficient manner. To lower the threshold for new users wanting to explore the use of the PE model, we describe and discuss important aspects related to its practical use. This includes directions on how to generate input files and how to run a calculation.
