Abstract

A description is presented of how to use the Sky3D time-dependent Hartree-Fock code to calculate giant monopole resonances. This requires modification to the code, and a step-by-step guide of how to make the necessary modification is given. An example of how to analyse the output of the code to obtain quantities of physics interest is included. Together, the modifications and the post-processing are intended to serve as a typical example of how the code, which was designed to be extendable to particular users' needs, can be extended.
